NASA's Ingenuity helicopter unlocked its blades, allowing them to spin freely, on April 7, 2021, the 47th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. This image was captured by the Mastcam-Z imager aboard NASA's Perseverance Mars rover on the following sol, April 8, 2021.
The Ingenuity helicopter had risen to every challenge it faced on Mars so far, and now it's confronting a new one. But the little chopper will live to fly another day -- specifically on Friday.
Ingenuity was supposed to lift off Thursday for a flight that pushed it further, faster and longer than before. However, the flight didn't happen as planned. The helicopter's team reported that Ingenuity remains safe and in good condition.
