Sol 910: Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter completed Flight 58! The goal of this flight was to reposition the helicopter in tandem with the rover and image some science targets along the way. Here are 2 images from its descent that was just posted.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter soars past 100 minutes of total Mars flight time

Ingenuity notched the milestone on Sept. 3, during its 57th Red Planet flight.

The 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) Ingenuity flew for the 57th time on Sunday (Sept. 3), covering 713 feet (217 meters) of ground on a sortie that lasted 129 seconds.

Ingenuity landed with NASA's Perseverance rover inside the 28-mile-wide (45 kilometers) Jezero Crater in February 2021.

Ingenuity's Flight Logbook has been updated to include flight #56. https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/?fl=desc#Flight-Log

Still waiting for the map to be updated, but the reported distance of 410 meters indicates it was not a direct flight, maybe a little sightseeing :)

Watch Ingenuity Mars helicopter fly in amazing video from Perseverance rover

Perseverance recorded Ingenuity's 54th Red Planet flight for posterity.

The agency's Ingenuity helicopter took to the Martian skies for the 54th time on Aug. 3, performing a simple up-and-down hop that lasted just 24 seconds. 

Perseverance was nearby at the time, and it recorded the sortie using its powerful Mastcam-Z camera system. The resulting video captures the flight in amazing detail, showing Ingenuity rise, hover and spin for a spell before coming back to rest on the red dirt of Mars' Jezero Crater.

Mars helicopter Ingenuity spies Perseverance rover during 54th Red Planet flight (photo, video)

The sortie occurred on Aug. 3.

NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity just snapped a photo of its Red Planet partner.

Ingenuity captured an image of NASA's Perseverance rover on Aug. 3, during the 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) chopper's 54th Mars flight. 

Perseverance is nearly out of frame at the top of the photo, which Ingenuity took when it was about 16 feet (5 meters) above the red dirt.
