VIDEO NASA s Ingenuity Mars helicopter has flown flying faster and further than ever before - even when it was on Earth - and we even have video of Sunday s 80-second flight because the Perseverance Rover’s Mastcam-Z had its eye on the drone s third flight.
The video showed the helicopter lift vertically to an altitude of five metres, cruise horizontally for 50m until it disappeared off screen, before reappearing and landed back where it started. The drone reached speeds of two metres per second, a brisk walking pace.
