Ingenuity Helicopter flies horizontally straight and back on Mars (Perseverance’s Mastcam-Z video)

On April 25, 2021 NASA JPL published video of Ingenuity Helicopter’s 3rd 100-meters longwise (horizontal) flight by Perseverance’s Mastcam-Z camera. The third flight test took place at “Wright Brothers Field” in Jezero Crater, Mars, on April 25, 2021. Ingenuity’s third flight achieved a longer flight time and more sideways movement than previously attempted. During the 80-second flight, the helicopter climbed to 16 feet (5 meters) and flew 164 feet (50 meters) downrange and back, for a total distance of 328 feet (100 meters). Flight Three is a big step, one in which Ingenuity will begin to experience freedom in the sky. There is also 4K video of 2nd flight of Ingenuity on Mars (enhanced using AI Engine).
