Nasa is celebrating what represents the first powered, controlled flight by an aircraft on another world and Confirmation came via a satellite at Mars which relayed the chopper’s data back to Earth. The drone, called Ingenuity, was airborne for less than a minute . Ingenuity will be commanded to fly higher and further as engineers seek to test the limits of the technology . The rotorcraft was carried to Mars in the belly of Nasa’s Perseverance Rover, which touched down in Jezero Crater on the Red Planet . Can we say that human beings have flown a rotorcraft on another plan ?
