The helicopter had its 55th flight on August 12, in which it reached an altitude of 10 meters and traveled 264 meters for 143 seconds, according to NASA.
The helicopter, named Ingenuity, arrived at Mars' Jezero Crater on February 18, 2021, attached to the belly of NASA's Perseverance rover. The helicopter is a technology demonstration to test powered flight on another planet for the first time.
