I am currently 18h 47m 52s of light travel time from Earth (2023:332:000000:1L)

Testing out my tools as I move into more science. Used my robotic arm to get right up close to this rock after zapping it with my laser. Can you tell I’m really into rocks? mars.nasa.gov/mars2020


After flight #3, it looks like Ingenuity has landed with one foot on a rock! Since it has spring leg joints, I'm thinking this won't be a big deal going forward but it's interesting to see that even something small as Ingenuity has its terrain issues. @NASAJPL #MarsHelicopter

So, while we wait for video from Ingenuity's third flight, here's a chance to get out your 3D red/blue glasses. @NASAPerseve earlier sent down 32 frames of flight #2 from left Zcam. It's not much, but here's #anaglyph video of Ingenuity turning in flight. #MarsHelicopter


First tourist photo from Mars, LOL. Those knobby things on the left and right margins are Ingenuity's feet!

Faster, farther, bolder. #MarsHelicopter is set for flight No. 3 on April 25. go.nasa.gov/3gArAmw Flight plan: Speed: ~4.5mph Range: 330ft (100m) roundtrip Altitude: 16ft (5m) Data expected later Sunday. Til then, peep this shot of rover tracks from the 2nd flight.

Well, I don't see any more frames overnight, so I'm calling it. Here's a download link to the second flight of Ingenuity (71Mb), if you want to have a full-res look at the raw footage minus the "sitting on the ground" bits. dropbox.com/s/zzu7qp0cbkzr…


Well, the video of the second flight looks like it's all downloaded. I'm not sure that I can see that Ingenuity actually moved 7 feet laterally. It might move a foot or two away from Perseverance, then back. Kinda hard to tell. Does a few pirouettes, for sure #MarsHelicopter

Another huge first: converting CO2 into oxygen on Mars. Working off the land with what’s already here, my MOXIE instrument has shown it can be done! Future explorers will need to generate oxygen for rocket fuel and for breathing on the Red Planet. go.nasa.gov/3eoXDDd

#OTD in 1962, Neil Armstrong descended from an altitude of 39 miles (~62 km) in the X-15 when he overshot Edwards AFB. Flying at Mach 3, conditions didn't allow him to turn back until Pasadena.

For all the people wondering about the "missing" dust cloud generated by Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter. Yes, this is real, though I don't know exactly what mojo he used to bring out the contrast on the dust cloud. If you look at raw video, it's faint but visible.

Mañana lo subiré a algún lado con mas calidad, por ahora todo el polvo levantado en el vuelo 😉 #NASA's #Mars #Perseverance Right #Mastcam-Z camera 299 frames Apr. 20, 2021 (Sol 58) #Ingenuity mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/multi… NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/j. Roger



If you'd like your own personal copy of Ingenuity's first flight, full-res downloadable 83Mb version is here: dropbox.com/s/hxh2565rpesa… Take-off is at timecode 25secs. Look closely for that dust cloud everyone keeps asking about not seeing on the youtube vids. #MarsHelicopter

To commemorate the historic first flight of the #MarsHelicopter from @NASAPersevere, we put together this AR experience featuring #Ingenuity & #PerseveranceRover! Try it in 3D by downloading lightup.io/HaloAR, then pointing at or printing out: go.nasa.gov/3sEAiTe 🚁

The @NASAPersevere Ingenuity flight has us inspired to build! We ❤️ this awesome fan mini build of the #MarsHelicopter. Think you can engineer your own? Check out more of @CurtQ's Mars-inspired builds on Flickr 👉 bit.ly/2QgIKuz

Woot! I can't stop watching Ingenuity take flight!

Witness the historic moment in full. The Mastcam-Z cameras on @NASAPersevere show us the takeoff, hovering and landing of the #MarsHelicopter.



Thanks to @kevinmgill and his mars-raw-utils code, this morning I downloaded latest video from @NASAPerseverance and saw #MarsHelicopter fly!!! Check it out! Congrats @NASAJPL @NASA @NASAPersevere!!! youtu.be/19RlhZaHhdo

Sol 58 Right Zcam FIRST FLIGHT


Hey, @NASAJPL, can u pls confirm -- In the Sol 31 video from @NASAPersevere left Zcam, at time 7 secs. I think @NASAPersevere captured a dust devil moving left to right. Youtube link but you might need full-size raw frames to see: youtu.be/tbS0vKOXMIw

Good news: New video frames came in overnight from @NASAPersevere. Less good news: None of it seems to be from the high speed spin test. Just three different clips of Ingenuity tilting its rotors back and forth. At this rate, we'll get the spin test after first flight.
