NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter nearly set another record last week.

The 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) Ingenuity, the first robot ever to explore the skies of a world beyond Earth, made its 68th Red Planet flight on Friday (Dec. 15).

The little chopper covered 2,304 feet (702 meters) of Mars ground on Friday, according to the mission's flight log. That's just 6 feet (1.8 m) shy of Ingenuity's distance record of 2,310 feet (704 m), which was set in April 2022, on its 25th flight.
