NASA has released an image showing its Mars helicopter Ingenuity on the Red Planet for the first time ahead of its historic maiden flight.
Ingenuity is attached to the belly of the Perseverance rover, which landed in Mars' Jezero Crater on February 18. The helicopter was covered by a shield to protect the vehicle during descent and landing. But this shield has now detached from the rover, revealing the aerial vehicle.
