The Ingenuity helicopter is making a second flight attempt on Mars Thursday, and it's even more challenging than the first. Ingenuity will attempt a longer, higher-climbing flight, including an angled and sideways trek.
Ingenuity had a "flawless" first flight on Monday lasting about 40 seconds where it lifted up 10 feet (3 meters) in the air, hovered, made a turn and safely landed. It was the first powered, controlled flight on another planet. Now, the NASA helicopter team wants to push Ingenuity to do more.More Related News
