Mars Helicopter Ingenuity successfully performed a slow spin test of its blades on April 8, 2021. This video was made by combining 4 images that were captured by the Mastcam-Z on NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover. On April 11, It will do its first flight autonomously.
Perseverance as a communications base station for Ingenuity will receive instructions from Earth and transmit the commands to the helicopter for it to fly. It will take about 6 seconds to climb to 10 feet (3 meters), which is a maximum height for the first flight. And then it will go into a hover for about 30 seconds.
Meanwhile, perseverance will be taking imagery of the flight and it will send the pictures back to earth on April 12.

Daily dose of perseverance viewers
And the anticipation rises, i have no doubts, that the first flight of Ingenuity, will be an historical success, thanks for sharing the images.
I do believe in ingenuity as a great development. Knowledge implies difficulties.
Magnifique , bravo continuer c'est génial.
Why not raise dust while the fins are rotating
I think the dust building on the solar panels might become an issue unfortunately.
Wounderful.
50 rpm and no dust..... what?
Swift looking little bugger. It'll be nowhere near that quick first time, but similar enough.
👍👍👍👍👍👍
