- NASA's Ingenuity mini-helicopter has been dropped on the surface of Mars.
- The ultra-light aircraft had been fixed to the Perseverance rover, which touched down on the Red Planet on February 18.
- Ingenuity will be attempting to fly in an atmosphere that is one percent the density of Earth's atmosphere.
- This will make it lift harder, but will be assisted by gravity that is one-third of our planet's.
- Ingenuity will be taking high-resolution photography as it flies.
