"NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Prototype Finds a New Home at the Smithsonian"

NASA has donated the full-scale prototype of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter to the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum. The prototype, which was the first to demonstrate powered flight in the atmosphere of another planet, played a pivotal role in the development of the successful Mars mission. While the Ingenuity helicopter continues to set records on Mars, the prototype will undergo conservation and treatment before being displayed in the museum.
