As the Space site reports, the plane from Mars ventured about 164 feet north of its base of operations (a little more than half the length of a football field) at a speed of about 7.2 km / h. It may not sound like much, but Ingenuity only traveled 3.9 meters at 1.7 km / h during its second flight; this was far enough that you almost had to squint to see Ingenuity in the photo above. > Only two potential flights remain before NASA halts its efforts in early May and shifts focus to the main mission of the Perserverance rover . However, expect these to be exciting. Project director Mimi Aung said the last two trips should be "really adventurous" and test the limits of the flying machine.
