NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter captured this shot as it hovered over the Martian surface on April 19, 2021, during the first instance of powered, controlled flight on another planet. It used its navigation camera, which autonomously tracks the ground during flight.

NASA’s history-making Ingenuity Mars Helicopter has ended its mission at the Red Planet after surpassing expectations and making dozens more flights than planned. While the helicopter remains upright and in communication with ground controllers, imagery of its Jan. 18 flight sent to Earth this week indicates one or more of its rotor blades sustained damage during landing, and it is no longer capable of flight.
Originally designed as a technology demonstration to perform up to five experimental test flights over 30 days, the first aircraft on another world operated from the Martian surface for almost three years, performed 72 flights, and flew more than 14 times farther than planned while logging more than two hours of total flight time.
This enhanced color view of NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was generated using data collected by the Mastcam-Z instrument aboard the agency's Perseverance Mars rover on Aug. 2, 2023, the 871st Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The image was taken a day before the rotorcraft's 54th flight.

Students Alex Mather, at left, and Vaneeza Rupani, stand near the countdown clock at the News Center at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida on July 28, 2020. Mather named the Perseverance rover, and Rupani named the Ingenuity helicopter. The rover is scheduled to launch July 30, on a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket from Space Launch Complex 41 at nearby Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The rover is part of NASA’s Mars Exploration Program, a long-term effort of robotic exploration of the Red Planet. The rover will search for habitable conditions in the ancient past and signs of past microbial life on Mars. The Launch Services Program at Kennedy is responsible for launch management.

This picture was taken by the color RTE camera aboard Ingenuity helicopter during its 51st flight on Sol 772.
The image looks back at Belva crater, an impact crater located on Jezero delta.
Towards the left of the image the Perseverance Rover is standing overlooking the crater rim.
In the hazy distance the opposite rim of Jezero crater can be seen.

Functional testing of NASA’s Mars Helicopter and its cruise stage occurred in the airlock inside Kennedy Space Center’s Payload Hazardous Servicing Facility on March 10, 2020. The helicopter was tested on a stand while the cruise stage was tested on the rotation fixture. The helicopter will be attached to the Mars Perseverance rover during its mission, which is part of NASA's Mars Exploration Program. Perseverance will land on the Red Planet on Feb. 18, 2021. Liftoff aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 541 rocket is targeted for mid-July from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. NASA’s Launch Services Program based at Kennedy is managing the launch.

Well done everyone at Nasa for daring mighty things like this one
How mythological is the Perseverance's voyage to another world for giving birth to Ingenuity?

Panorama sent yesterday from Mars. More than 3.5 billion years ago this was a lake!
You can also spot Ingenuity the MarsHelicopter near the top-left corner, hiding behind a rock.

Mastcam-Z took this image of the dusty Ingenuity helicopter on Sol 781 from a distance of only 15m. This is the closest the two robots have been since early in the mission. Ingenuity has flown 53 times to date.

The Mars Ingenuity helicopter is part of NASA’s Mars 2020 mission. It was carried to the surface of Mars attached to the belly of the Perseverance rover and has completed 69 flights in the extremely thin Martian atmosphere since first taking to the skies on April 19, 2021. It is the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on another planet. Though still experimental, the helicopter is contributing to the mission by previewing areas of Mars of possible interest for the Perseverance rover to explore and paving the way for future aerial explorers on the Red Planet.
Mastcam-z captured this image of the Ingenuity helicopter ahead of its 59th flight on Sol 915. This flight took the Mars Helicopter in multiple steps to an new record altitude of 20m!
The image is calibrated for natural color as the human eye would see it. It was also upscaled to 200% with the Enhance function in Lightroom.
