CNN
The Ingenuity helicopter has met all of its objectives on Mars. It will fly even further, faster and longer than before over intriguing Martian terrain on Thursday.
The 4-pound chopper will attempt its fourth flight on the red planet on Thursday at 10:12 a.m. ET, or 12:30 p.m. local Mars time. Data will begin streaming back to the control room at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California at 1:21 p.m. ET. "From millions of miles away, Ingenuity checked all the technical boxes we had at NASA about the possibility of powered, controlled flight at the Red Planet," said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division, in a statement.More Related News
