NASA is about to find out whether its Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, flew for the first time early Monday.
If it flies successfully, it may change how we explore planets - and beam back unprecedented video.

Update:
NASA is about to find out whether its Mars helicopter successfully flew its first flight - a feat that could revolutionize spaceflight.
The helicopter, called Ingenuity, traveled nearly 300 million miles to the red planet tucked inside the belly of the Perseverance rover. Early Monday, around 3:30 a.m. ET, the space drone attempted to fly over an airfield in Mars' Jezero Crater. If it was successful, that would be the first controlled powered flight ever conducted on another planet.
