NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (Ingenuity\u2019s \u201cmother\u201d) tweeted: \u201c#MarsHelicopter pushes its Red Planet limits. The rotorcraft completed its 9th and most challenging flight yet, flying for 166.4 seconds at a speed of 5 m\/s.\u201d That\u2019s 16 feet a second, the fastest speed since the beginning of the experiments in April. The little heli flew about 625 meters (0.4 miles). Ingenuity has been tested performing increasingly greater tasks than originally planned. Yesterday Ingenuity was sent off on a different route than its rover companion, Perseverance, flying over \u201cunfriendly\u201d terrain which has elevations and sandy \u201cripples,\u201d not the flat terrain for which Ingenuity had been prepared. The \u201csignificantly elevated risk\u201d makes it \u201cthe most nerve-wracking flight since Flight 1,\u201d JPL wrote in its July 2 pre-flight statement. It was a success, but the full statistics and image collection have yet to arrive back at Earth.
