A dream takes flight! Today, our Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter became the first aircraft in history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet.
In a video captured by our Perseverance Mars rover, the helicopter is shown hovering above the Red Planet's surface. During this first flight, the helicopter climbed to an altitude of 10 feet (3 meters), hovered, and then touched back down on the surface of Mars.
More images and video to come...
Join us at 2 p.m. ET (18:00 UTC) for an analysis of Ingenuity’s first flight and what's to come:

Congratulations @nasa! Looking forward to #Artemis!
Today we celebrate the mission that piqued our curiosities, and drove NASA’s perseverance to pursue further exploration of the Red Planet. The Sojourner rover landed on July 4, 1997, after hitching a ride aboard the Mars Pathfinder mission. Its innovative design became the template for future missions. The rover, named after civil rights pioneer Sojourner Truth, outlived its design life 12 times. This panoramic view of Pathfinder’s Ares Vallis landing site shows Sojourner rover is the distance.

Mount Taranaki, New Zealand, is one of the most symmetrical volcanic cones in the world. It was used as Mt. Fuji in Tom Cruise’s “The Last Samurai” and was the backdrop to some of the bloodiest conflicts in New Zealand’s colonial past.
In 1859, a minor chief of Te Ātiawa offered to sell land north of Taranaki to the British Empire, which was accepted. However, more senior chiefs denied this sale, sparking conflicts over the next 21 years.
In the 1850s, the non-Māori population of New Zealand was growing rapidly, and pressure to sell land was being piled on. Pōtatau Te Wherowhero was installed as the first Māori king, who drew a boundary between the Māori land and that of the colonisers. However, this posed a direct threat to the crown. On March 17th 1860, after numerous smaller conflicts, the first shots of the Taranaki wars began, with the British bombarding the Māori position with artillery fire - resulting in no casualties.
During this first Taranaki War, the colonial British army had a force of 3500, while the Māori had a force of 800. The war ended with a ceasefire, with 238 colonial casualties and 200 Māori casualties, and neither side accepting the peace terms of the other. Historians note that, although the British claimed they won this war, they had suffered a humiliating defeat. This defeat was a major precursor for the invasion of Waikato, the biggest military campaign of the New Zealand wars.
