NASA's First Flight On Another Planet

NASA’S Mars helicopter is ready to make history – the first controlled flight on another planet – after overcoming a technical glitch.

Tiny rotorcraft Ingenuity is due to make its maiden flight on Wednesday.

The 49cm-tall copter arrived at the Red Planet’s Jezero crater in February 18.

Its 300 million-mile journey inside the Perseverance rover took eight months.

Take-off had been scheduled for last week but was delayed after a technical issue during a test of the rotors.
