NASA JPL is celebrating the successful completion of another flight for the Ingenuity Mars helicopter. The tweet announced that the seventh flight had been completed overall, which is also the second flight for operations during the demo phase for the helicopter. During its seventh flight, the helicopter flew for 62.8 seconds and traveled approximately 106 meters south.
Ingenuity set down successfully in a new landing spot during the flight and took the black and white navigation photo seen above during the flight. NASA JPL did give out a bit more detail in the tweet in response to someone who asked how many more flights might be planned and if there were any signs of wear on the helicopter so far. A JPL team member said that there were no signs of aging yet on the actuator system of the Ingenuity helicopter.
