According to NASA, in its last flight on Saturday, December 3, the 1.8-kilogram rotorcraft managed to set a new record by climbing 14 meters above the surface of the Red Planet.
With a height of 12 meters, the Ingenuity helicopter was able to repeat the previous record three times during its mission to Mars.
Saturday’s flight was Ingenuity’s first since November 22 and only its second since a major software update. This update, which took several weeks to install, brings two important new features to Ingenuity: hazard avoidance during landing and the use of digital altitude maps for navigation.
As Ukrinform reports, the Ingenuity helicopter was delivered to the Red Planet along with NASA’s Perseverance rover on February 18, 2021, after nearly seven months of flight. Ingenuity made its maiden flight on 19 April. The $85 million helicopter became the first plane to be launched from another planet.
