Our favorite Mars Helicopter had its picture taken today!
Ingenuity has now flown an astonishing distance of 12 kilometers in 95 minutes distributed over 53 flights (of just 5 that were originally planned)!
This image was taken by the left Mastcam-Z on Perseverance at a distance of just about 16 meters - the closest these two robots have come since early in the mission!
