Mars Ingenuity helicopter takes its first flight successfully | Cursor
NASA's experimental Mars helicopter rose from the dusty red surface into the thin air today, achieving the first powered, controlled flight on another planet. Ingenuity has performed its first flight — the first flight of a powered aircraft on another planet, NASA said. NASA hailed the triumph as a Wright Brothers moment. The first powered flight on Earth was achieved by Orville and Wilbur Wright in 1903. A piece of fabric from that plane has been tucked inside Ingenuity in honor of that feat. NASA also said that the rotor motors of the helicopter appear healthy and the Mars Helicopter team has begun to receive data from Ingenuity's first flight. The $85 million helicopter demo was considered high risk, yet high reward. Aung and her team had to wait more than three excruciating hours before learning whether the pre-programmed flight had succeeded 178 million miles (287 million kilometers) away. Adding to their anxiety: A software error prevented the helicopter from lifting off a week earlier and had engineers scrambling to come up with a fix.
