Meet Ingenuity, NASA’s tiny robotic helicopter that made history on Mars! Carried by the Perseverance rover, Ingenuity proved that powered, controlled flight is possible in the super-thin Martian atmosphere. Since its first flight on April 19, 2021, this little explorer has completed 72 flights, far beyond expectations, scouting the Red Planet and paving the way for future aerial exploration. 🛸 From its counter-rotating blades spinning at incredible speed to its tiny 1.8 kg frame, Ingenuity sho
