NASA's Ingenuity Helicopter Completes Historic Mars Mission

After surpassing its flight expectations and aiding Mars exploration, Ingenuity's mission ends due to rotor damage.

NASA's Ingenuity helicopter, the first powered aircraft on another planet, has completed its mission after 72 flights on Mars.
Ingenuity exceeded its original mission parameters, flying 14 times farther than planned and assisting the Perseverance rover in exploring Mars.
The helicopter suffered damage to its rotor blades during its final flight, rendering it unable to fly again.
Ingenuity's final resting place was captured by the Perseverance rover, marking the end of a groundbreaking mission.
NASA plans to build a more advanced version of Ingenuity for future Mars missions, inspired by its success.
