FULL Helicopter Ingenuity’s 4th flight on Mars with dust swirling visible

On May 1st, 2021 NASA published Full Frame video of Ingenuity Helicopter’s successful 4th flight on Mars for 133 meters distance. The helicopter took off at 10:49 a.m. EDT (7:49 a.m. PDT, or 12:33 local Mars time), climbing to an altitude of 16 feet (5 meters) before flying south approximately 436 feet (133 meters) and then back, for an 872-foot (266-meter) round trip. In total, we were in the air for 117 seconds. During this flight, NASA saved even more images than we did on our previous flights: about 60 total during the last 164 feet (50 meters) before the helicopter returned to its landing site.
