Mars Helicopter Ingenuity was just a 30-day technology demonstration mission to test powered, controlled flight on another world.

Ingenuity completed its tech demo phase after the 3rd flight on April 25, 2021. After another 2 flights, it transitioned to a new operations demonstration phase.

Almost 3 years later, Ingenuity has completed 72 flights and is still going strong in support of the overall mission.

Overachiever much?
👏
