Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Third Flight Video - Flying Faster & Farther Horizontally
Here is the full video of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter flying faster and farther than in previous flights.
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter set a new record by flying 50 meters (164 feet) horizontally at a speed of 2 meters per second (about 4.5 mph) on Sunday, April 25, 2021. This time it went faster and farther than in its previous flights. It climbed 16 feet (5 meters) high - the same altitude as its second flight. It then headed 50 meters (164 feet) north and returned to land at Wright Brothers Field. The total flight time was about 80 seconds and it covered a total distance of 100 meters (330 feet).
The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter team is looking ahead to planning its fourth flight in a few days’ time.
This video also includes 3 aerial images of Mars that were taken by the helicopter during its second flight

Its absolutely astonishing how stable this is. What an amazing piece of engineering!
Privileged to be alive at a time like this! Well done to the entire team at NASA!
AS IF YOURE READINGMY THOUGHTS...JUST WANNA SEE PROJECT ARTEMIS COME TO LIFE NEXT.
N ever A S treight A nswer.
Never thought a helicopter would peak my interest, this ones got my full attention, congrats to NASA/JPL Caltech, awesome job people.

I wonder if all of the remaining longer flights will take Ingenuity off camera. It would be interesting to see Ingenuity fly away from Perseverance and then return flying back towards Perseverance while staying in the view of Perseverance's camera during the entire flight.
Can’t believe that it is happening. We are literally on Mars capturing photos & gaining core informations. This is truly amazing. Kuddos to all engineers who worked together to achieve this milestone. You guys are awesome. Lots of love from India.
This is the totally incredible feat. Vertical flight is sooooo much easier than any horizontal flying with these types of craft. Let alone the 1% atmosphere, the extreme temperatures and the physical distance away from its masters. NASA you have smashed it!
Millions and millions of years... and here we are, to witness a new beginning.
They did this with monkeys back in the 1950s
Un logro increible! Por la gran distancia. Admirable! Felicitaciones a todos en la NASA!
This soooo cool ! Thanks for the video ! First one on the complete flight and well done at that ! Now here's hoping that Ingenuity does a flyover of Perseverance at least once before the mission is over. at least for posterity if for nothing else. A non-selfie Perseverance shot/video.
I think the drone and the oxygen tests totally validate this whole mission and the next one should be the 3D printing drone ... congrats people
Wow. It's gonna discover lots of new rocks, sand, rocks, sand, rocks.....
Užasná, perfektná práca perfektných ľudí, lietajúci vrtulník na Marse.
Cooooool! Obviously NASA will be able to explore a whole lot more of the planet than would ever have been possible with the land rovers. I look forward to seeing video, wide angle, taken by Ingenuity as it flies towards the distant horizon. This is amazing.
The stability and manouvrability of this helicopter seems to be excellent, grat job NASA!
JPL!
@@badcornflakes6374 Right, JPL! Now I would like to see it flying higher and take pics from the max altitude it can reach!
Why there's no dust cloud during take off and landing? Didn't we see tones of dust devils from earlier videos?
And please don't bother with bs about the low weight and low thrust. 2400 RPM 10" from the ground - that's more then enough to produce a visible cloud :)
Before it flew there was a low-speed spin test, then a high-speed spin test, taking the rotors up to almost the speed required for take off. Those earlier tests will have done a good job of blowing away dust from the take-off area. And I think it landed as close as possible to where it took off because that location had been carefully chosen for its flatness.
Dust, as everyone knows, is dead human skin cells. What the f#ck would dead human skin cells be doing on mars?
I am 52 , the fact that we have seen an aircraft flying on another planet in my life time has me in awe !
Tottally Awesome, amazing!!!
Monday morning at NASA: "OK, let's get to the choppa!"
The current perseverance rover travels at a speed of .1 mph. That's 4.2 centimeters a second or 152 meters a hour. The speeds at which this helicopter can survey the area is just absolutely astonishing. The amount of land we are going to be able to explore and survey in a days time just increased like 100x
Tech isn't the issue, battery life and weight is. A future helicopter would need some nuclear powered powerplant like the rovers have and thus be much larger.
Fantastic !!!
Great success for this project flying on another planet in our solar system..really amazing!!!
Nice video.
Perseverance: OK I'll take you to Mars but no flying around like bad boy Ingenuity after approaching Mars: weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Really lucky to see this in my life.
For Masa. Try to capture nigh vision.. May be there another light..iya very easy to catch by camera
what does it use for positioning? is there already gps subtitute from orbiter or something?
Hi bud truly amazing 👏
Team Ingenuity had BETTER be already designing the next version of a drone for future missions! As far as Im concerned they have proved the concept and a bigger drone with longer range is needed. i wonder if a nuke powered helicopter with more range is possible so that solar doesnt have to be relied on to charge the batteries ?
Wow!
SENSACIONAL
Bravo!!!

why no sound? Perseverance has a microphone doesn't it?
Can someone explain how the film of the drone coming to the rover in the first 5 seconds was taken? How did that camera get there? also the blades of the helicopter do not appear to be turning.
The first 5 seconds are an animation, the rest are actual photos. Perseverance don't have actual video cameras. The "videos" are not true videos, but just single photos taken as fast after each other as the camera can and then put together as a video afterwards. Because of that, really fast movement like spinning rotor blades, don't look right.
تهانينا! من أراد الدنيا فعليه بالعلم ومن ارد الآخرة فعليه بالعلم.
Amazing.Just asking did the copter capture any possibility of traces of GOLD and PETROLEUM!!
The images of the perseverance's parachutes are much more stunning, but this flight is great too. Not so great as Apollo 17 leaving the moon behind, but great too. I give Ingenuity 3rd position.

ONCE AGAIN NASA....WELL DONE!🇺🇸
I start to think about the earth without water, how it would look like Mars without water, completely round, instead, the earth takes away the water as it would look, since we are still at an early age
Personally I think the homage should be to Jan Bahyl a slovakian inventor not the Wright brothers field since Mr Bahyl is the first inventor of a helicopter flying machine in 1901 and the first man made flying machine flown from mars is a drone helicopter and not an airplane. Igor Sikorsky made a first helicopter to made its full production in 1942 but Mr Bayhl invented the first helicopter that hover 0.5 meters in the air in 1901 and second time in 1908 for 4 meters in altitude and flew in a distance of 1,500 meters
How far can this thing fly eventually?
looks like some kids are piloting a small drone in the Sahara desert. But maybe it's a multi-mullion dollar high-tec NASA helicopter on Mars. Human ingenuity in either case.
Why didn't the camera pan to watch the full flight?
I LOVE YOU NASAAAAAAAAA
Anyone know why we aren't being shown the rover from the helicopter?
0:06 What does seccussful mean?
The heart swells.
That will be the lower atmospheric pressure.
Yeah cool stuff simple flight but where is amazing
más asombroso que el que ese pequeño helicoptero esté volando sobre Marte es que lo estemos viendo desde la Tierra
Unbelievable what these people are doing. Just think about how far we have come since Dec.17, 1903 when the Wright brothers first flew their airplane.
How long Ingenuity can stay in the Air without movies?
So, basically we are sending flying probes to Mars, as advanced, beyond our level of comprehension, possibly not from this planet, and perhaps solar system, aerial phenomena, is flying around, in what is for most of us restricted space, at will, with out any major deployment of armed forces and advise the public of this unknown, phenomena in our own planet and we are like, "Ok mates, what's the next project for "Ingenuity?" Should we do up and down? Oh! wait, we've done it already."
So, now we are flying UFO to Martians.
One day we will have live telecasting .
What is a "seccussful" flight?
Is it broken
Hey it just spotted life on Mars!
Почему при взлёте вертолёта на Марсе нет пыли?
How Perseverance is powered, it doesn't seem to have solar panels?
It does have solar panels above the rotors. And batteries that are charged for a long time before each of these short flights.
I wish I could fire a SAM at Ingenuity and send it to Hades forthwith. It's too long intact for my liking.
Why cant we see percevarance in ingenuity video?
Good job. Is it helicopter or drone?
🚁 helicopter not drone
It’s a helicopter drone. It’s not an airplane drone. Still a drone.
so if the top land upside down, NASA can use the microwave over to right it?
I wonder how old Willard White feels about this ? ? ?
It's hard to believe that there is no dust when lifting off. Not to sound like a kook or anything. but on a planet with a light atmosphere and basically a desert terrain, i can see it being rocky, tough sand. but in what ive seen of mars, and the moon, i would expect some dust on lift off????
Maybe they will find one of Hank aaron home run balls.
Really a very cool time to be alive! And also to see what you can achieve when you let go of old blocking man-made views, beliefs, problems and boundaries and pull together across different nationalities.
- somehow on Mars everywhere always some dust - except landings and take off - some grass there ??????????? _ again something forgot to add
Mars is like a dead desert ~ 😵😵😵
I think it was mirrors.
Why can't the Rovers Camara's follow the helicopters flight path ? Your telling me that you've managed to land on Mars but you can't show such a basic manuver ?? Why not fly towards the rover and then back to its original location ?? How did the helicopter get to its point of lift off away from the rover?? Why not show that flight ?? Were the Camara's not working that day ?? Can someone please give an explanation to my very simple questions ? Thank you
Something is not right. look at the first 5 seconds: how/ by whom was it filmed
(1) I’m sure they could pan Perseverance’s camera, but why would they? The main data to collect is the engineering telemetry. The video is optional. (2) Flying towards Perseverance is a crazy risk. If Ingenuity overshoots its planned flight and hits the rover, it would be a disaster. (3) Ingenuity didn’t fly to its liftoff point. Perseverance dropped it there and rolled away. You can see the tire tracks.
@@hazardousmaterials1284 thank you for your prompt reply, I've watched the landing and a video of the helicopter and have a better understanding of the complexity of the sequences that have taken place. I will continue to follow this amazing historical event. Stay safe and thanks again.
?
@@antonvandoornum9061 First 5 seconds starts with an advertising splash then a CGI of the rover and the drone. So what's wrong with that ?
It's in the hands of the Jawas now.
Why the wind generated by the helicopter does not rise any dust?
Because it's a lightweight drone with a small wingspan. It doesn't have the weight of a helicopter so doesn't need the wingspan or power that a helicopter does. So there's very little downdraft.
...because, as we all know, dust is dead human skin cells. WTF would dead human skin cells be doing on mars?
Who's the UFO now?!
Technically its not a UFO since its not unidentified, we know what it is. You could class it as an alien drone since its not of Mars!
@@samdenham5991 you misunderstood my humour. It is what a Martian thinks, if they've never seen a usa rover yet lol.
Well- that's NO word in world could justify. we hope this wee Helicopter is back to mother ship after use just in case someone would nick it.
That's wight Danny, They're a bunch of wobbers, wapists and a wabble of wowdy webels up there.
"Seccussful" flight? Glad you're not writing code for Ingenuity! LOL!
Glad it's been SECUSSFUL
Titan is the only place humans can live feasibly.
The 1st human to set foot on Mars .....do you think that person is alive already or still waiting to be born? 🤔
26 dislike hahahaha how boring your life has to be! Hahahahah
Gimmie a flying replica for Xmas present.
Wby so long scince a flight
Its a drone, not a helicopter and eggheads drooling over rocks and dust.
i've drooled over rocks. I'm not proud.
Cameras in the space can't record 20fps only 1fps... I love learning optics
@Daniel Paulson Slow internet make severeal hours download, not file framerate change...
Not looking for accuracy, just looking for something that look real...
Désormais les hélicoptères peuvent voler sans problème sur la surface de Mars! Mais gare aux tempêtes martienne car l' hélico n' a pas de protection contre ce genre de phénomène!?.
Ingenuity did great stroll but seems getting crashed while descending.
it's being controlled by one of them new "woman" engineers.
feel sorry for the ppl who not been in deserts,, this our normal dessert
Camels smell bloody awful. You can keep your desert fahar.
@@johnc3403 you are weird bro,, why you smell the camels or any animals,, if you did that with all animals,, you need visit psychological clinics
Ignorance is the only true evil left I can’t see any dust/dirt being kicked up by the propellers. Why is that? The ground doesn’t look compact enough for us Not to see a ring of dust being kicked out when the propellers spin up & take off or when it lands.
You would think with the lack of gravity it would be a complete mess going on with any activity.
Report the spam-bots to hide them. Thx and yw.
You clearly didn't report them. It hides their posts immediately after you report them regardless of what youtube staff does.
Jeff bezos could end homelessness. That would be money well spent
if mars so dusty n air is lighter why dont I see dust on take off n landing
Their Blue screen tecnic is slacking also they never thought anyone would get a thrill watching a damn toy go up , down, and back and forth , maybe tomorrow you can watch it do a loop and Face Splat , Live on Air only Later here !
@@johnbassett3188 Awww, a conspiracy theorist! 😀 Very cute. Must be super smart.
On the first flight you could see a dust cloud on takeoff. It was faint but it was there.
If there are aliens to observe their presence in the sky Would think like a human being Thinking that power Watch an old movie about the success of the Right brothers.
Have they found Matt Damon yet ?
PPL nowadays don't blive such thing
We are the UFO and aliens there..
Wow NASA! How do you get shadows pointing each other from opposite directions?
Salam aleikum
It's cute n all but show us some fuckin structures n ufo footage already
