Ingenuity In Mars Skies || Mars Helicopter Ingenuity Completed Its 15th Flight On The Red Planet

A few days ago, Ingenuity completed its 15th successful flight on Planet Mars within Jezero Crater... Watch in full screen with sound moderate. Here is the description of the flight as per Physics Insight and NASA:

"NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity has soared through the Red Planet skies yet again. The little chopper just completed its 15th Martian sortie on November 6, 2021. It flew for 128.8 seconds. Ingenuity covered 1,332 feet (406 meters) of horizontal distance, travelled at 11.1 mph (17.9 kph) and flew about 39 feet (12 m) above the ground."

I had read that NASA was planning a 15th flight and Ingenuity would be traveling back to its home base, and as you can see from the description above, it covered a great deal of the Marscape. For a chopper that NASA was only going to schedule a few attempts at flying on MARS, Ingenuity has been a phenomenal success...

I hope you enjoyed the flight...
