At the beginning of this month, NASA\u2019s Ingenuity helicopter made a daring flight that would trek over 600 meters, at speeds of up to 5 m\/s for just under 3 minutes. A user created an animation of the Ingenuity\u2019s flight so you can see it from any angle.<\/p>\n

While here on Earth those stats of a flight might mean nothing, on Mars where human input is impossible, it\u2019s extremely significant. This flight to date has been the fastest and longest (in time and distance) so far. Since flight 6, the once tech demo has begun flying operational missions, aiding in the exploration of NASA\u2019s Perseverance Rover.<\/p>\n

While we have seen some videos of Ingenuity from the Perseverance rover they have all been stationary shots of the first few flights. And for a while now Perseverance has been minding its own business working on exploring Jezero Crater, unable to stop and capture Ingenuity\u2019s flights.<\/p>\n

A user on Twitter took used photos from Ingenuity\u2019s multitude of cameras and recreated its flight plan in Blender. The flight animation shows the entire 625-meter flight across Mar\u2019s surface and then land at a different airfield. The full animation is also available on Sketchfab where you can view the entire flight animation from any angle you wish.<\/p>\n
