Description
Ingenuity completed Flight No. 57 on September 3, 2023.The helicopter flew at a maximum speed of 3 meters per second, covered a distance of 217 meters and stayed aloft for 128.6 seconds.
The maximum flight altitude was 10 meters.
The time lapse movie is based on 10 frames taken by the navigation camera over a period of 21 seconds.
It shows the landing of the helicopter. Ingenuity's shadow on the surface of Mars is clearly visible.
Unfortunately, the last frame of the time-lapse movie was not completely transferred to earth (so far) and is therefore faulty.
