NASA has posted a photo of its Perseverance rover snapped by the Ingenuity helicopter during its third Mars flight. But can you see it?
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter made history just over a week ago when it became the first aircraft to achieve controlled, powered flight on another planet. The 4-pound,19-inch-tall flying machine arrived on the red planet in February 2021, attached to the belly of the Perseverance Mars rover. Since its historic flight, Ingenuity has taken a further two flights, with at least two more planned in the coming days. The flights have been captured on video by one of the many cameras attached to Perseverance, which is currently parked a short distance from the helicopter. But Ingenuity is carrying a camera, too, and on its third flight on Sunday, April 25, the aircraft snapped a photo looking back at Perseverance.
