Check out record flying with NASA’s Mars helicopter. Ingenuity has flown farther and faster than ever before.

NASA has released a new video that their Mars helicopter Ingenuity, filmed during its latest flight, a record flight that took the helicopter a full 704 meters.

This is the longest flight Ingenuity has made since making its first flight to Mars in April last year. In addition to being the longest flight, it was also the fastest and the maximum speed during the flight was 5 meters per second, almost 20 km / h. NASA writes about the video you can check out above:

“Footage of the 161.3-second flight was sped up approximately five times. In the video, Ingenuity first reaches an altitude of 33 feet (10 meters). The helicopter then moves southwest and accelerates to 12 mph (5.5 meters per second) in less than three seconds. Ingenuity flies over a group of sand ripples and then by several rock fields. Finally, the helicopter finds a landing spot when relatively flat terrain appears below. “

Since Ingenuity landed on Mars, the small helicopter has made 25 flights on the red planet. Some of these can be found in the linked articles below.
