Enhance! Spacecraft Spots NASA’s Mars Helicopter All the Way From Orbit

Enhance! NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter, which weighs just four pounds, has been spotted by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The HiRise camera is a massive and powerful instrument that can take images of up to 28 gigabits in size in just six seconds.

Ingenuity has successfully completed 23 flights in just over a year. The Ingenuity team was hoping to complete five flights.

It flew for just over two minutes last week, covering over 1,100 feet.

Saying Hi

Scientists believe that Ingenuity is from a volcanic eruption.

Perseverance is likely to be imaged again during its long traverse by the HiRise team.

Scientists believe that the Jezero Crater is a good place to look for signs of ancient life because of the large rovers Ingenuity and Perseverance.
