Ingenuity Mars Helicopter viewed by one of the hazard cameras on Perseverance rover on APril 30
Washington:
NASA s Perseverance rover has for the first time captured the low-pitched whirring of the Ingenuity helicopter s blades as it flies through the rarefied Martian atmosphere.
The space agency on Friday released new footage shot by the six-wheeled robot of its rotorcraft companion making its fourth flight on April 30 this time accompanied by an audio track.
The nearly three-minute-long video begins with the low rumble of wind blowing across the Jezero Crater, where Perseverance landed in February on a mission to search for signs of ancient microbes.

Highlights
NASA s Perseverance rover has made history by recording the low-pitched whirring of the Ingenuity helicopter s blades.
The footage was accompanied with a three-minute-long audio track.
For this 108-second test flight, the Ingenuity helicopter flew southward and over a new airfield.
Washington: Once again NASA s Perseverance rover has made history by recording the low-pitched whirring of the Ingenuity helicopter s blades. This milestone was achieved during the Ingenuity helicopter’s fourth flight and the space agency released the new footage on its Twitter handle on Friday (May 7, 2021).
The footage was accompanied with a three-minute-long audio track in which the Ingenuity helicopter s blades can be heard humming through the thin Martian air.

Washington: NASA s Perseverance rover has for the first time captured the low-pitched whirring of the Ingenuity helicopter s blades as it flies through the rarefied Martian atmosphere.
The space agency on Friday released new footage shot by the six-wheeled robot of its rotorcraft companion making its fourth flight on April 30 - this time accompanied by an audio track.
The nearly three-minute video begins with the low rumble of the wind blowing across the Jezero Crater, where Perseverance landed in February on a mission to search for signs of ancient microbial life.
Ingenuity then takes off, and its blades can be heard humming softly as they spin at nearly 2,400 rpm on the 872-foot (262 metre) roundtrip.
