Ingenuity, nicknamed Ginny, is an autonomous NASA helicopter that operated on Mars from 2021 to 2024 as part of the Mars 2020 mission. Ingenuity made its first flight on 19 April 2021, demonstrating that flight is possible in the extremely thin atmosphere of Mars, and becoming the first aircraft to conduct a powered and controlled extra-terrestrial flight.
The Perseverance rover recorded both audio and video of Ingenuity in flight, [25] making the helicopter the first interplanetary vehicle whose sound was recorded off Earth. 5 May 7, 2021 at 19:26 [26] (Sol 76) 108.2 10 m (33 ft) 130.84 m (429.3 ft) 2 m/s (4.5 mph)

History shows they got back to work – to learn as much as they could about their new aircraft – and so will we.” Perseverance touched down with Ingenuity attached to its belly on Feb. 18. Deployed to the surface of Jezero Crater on April 3, Ingenuity is currently on the 16th sol, or Martian day, of its 30-sol (31-Earth day) flight test ...
April 19, 2021 – First flight of Ingenuity; April 20, 2021 – Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE) generated 5.37 g (0.189 oz) of oxygen gas from carbon dioxide on its first test on Mars. June 1, 2021 – Perseverance begins its first science campaign. June 8, 2021 – Seventh flight of Ingenuity. June 21, 2021 – Eighth flight of Ingenuity ...
So engineers at JPL equipped Ingenuity with a computerized system that allows it to stabilize itself and navigate on its own. [19] The first flight tests of the Mars Helicopter took place within the JPL space simulator in early 2019. [21] [22] [23] The total cost of the helicopter is around $23 million, and it weighs less than 1.8 kg.
With a budget of $7 million, "Scream" by Michael Jackson (left) and Janet Jackson (right) is the most expensive music video of all time—both nominally and adjusted for inflation. This article lists the most expensive music videos ever made, with costs of $500,000 or more, from those whose budgets have been disclosed.
