"NASA's Mars Helicopter Shatters Flight Record in Spectacular Fashion"

NASA's Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, has set a new flight record by reaching an altitude of 20 meters on its 59th flight, surpassing its previous record by 6 meters. Since its maiden flight in April 2021, Ingenuity has achieved various milestones, including flying for as long as 169.5 seconds, covering a distance of 2,325 feet, and reaching speeds of up to 15 mph. The helicopter's impressive performance has not only assisted the Perseverance rover but has also provided valuable aerial shots for planning the rover's routes. NASA plans to develop more advanced versions of the flying machine based on Ingenuity's success for future missions to Mars and beyond.
