Ingenuity Helicopter turning while flying on Mars (full frame video)

NASA is still downloading some of the data from the 1st Ingenuity flight, but this particular video is in two parts. The first part is the captured images of Ingenuity as it takes off, turns, and hovers then lands. There is narration associated with this piece and the 2nd piece, which is a NASA Flight data reconstruction of the flight converted into an animation that can be studied from different angles for minuscule occurrences... It was indicated that there is more image data information being downloaded and will be converted into playable video...

NASA stated the following:

"On April 19, 2021 NASA’s Ingenuity Helicopter made successful test flight on Mars and sent onboard camera images while flying. Perseverance Mars Rover recorded full frame video of helicopter’s successful lift off and landing on the surface of Red Planet. For the first flight, the helicopter took off a few feet from the ground, hover in the air for about 20 to 30 seconds, and land. It was the very first powered flight in the extremely thin atmosphere of Mars. After that, the team will attempt additional experimental flights of incrementally farther distance and greater altitude. After the helicopter completes its technology demonstration,

Perseverance will continue its scientific mission. Interesting fact that Ingenuity was turning during flight. That is amazing! In video there is an answer. NASA also demonstrated detailed reconstruction of Ingenuity's first flight by animation."
