Earlier this morning Ingenuity took off for the fourth and most daring flight of its campaign. It took several hours for flight data to be received by the JPL team but all signs look that it was a successful flight.<\/p>\n

Ingenuity, the small Martian helicopter that first took flight two weeks ago has been having nothing but success on the Martian soil. This flight flew higher, faster, and further than all the other flights have so far and it landed back safely on the surface.<\/p>\n

While only flight data has been downlinked so far, Ingenuity did get a chance to take photos during its flight. These images will be coming down in a later downlink in order to prioritize the most important information to determine mission success. While we will wait for those images, we can see a glimpse of the flight through the eyes of Perseverance with an image from its Hazcam.<\/p>\n
