Named "Ingenuity," NASA's first Mars helicopter lifted off from the surface of Jezero crater on the Red Planet at 3:34 a.m. EDT (0733 GMT or 12:33 p.m. Local Mean Solar Time on Mars) on Monday (April 19). Flying autonomously, the 1.6-foot-tall (0.49-meter) aircraft spun up its four carbon blades to climb to its planned altitude of 10 feet (3 meters) and maintained a stable hover for 30 seconds. Ingenuity then descended and touched back down on its four legs after logging 39.1 seconds in flight.[/i]</blockquote> <center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/news/news-041921a-ingenuity-mars-helicopter-first-flight.html" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/images/news-041921b-lg.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0"></a></center>[/B][/QUOTE]
