Perseverance touched down in the Jezero Crater, a dried-up river delta just to the north of the Martian equator - and a potential site for signs of ancient fossilised microbial life.

Ingenuity, which flies just like a helicopter, made its fourth flight on Mars on April 30, going further and faster than it ever had before. NASA’s team set up the Perseverance rover to take a visual and audio recording of the flight from a position of about 262 feet away from Ingenuity at takeoff, but based on tests back on Earth and the seriously thin atmosphere on Mars, they didn’t believe they would be able to pick up any sounds from the helicopter.
