NASA's Ingenuity Helicopter To Take Off On April 19

After over a week of delay from its scheduled flight, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter is finally ready for a controlled flight to Mars on April 19. The rotorcraft will hover over its current site for 30 seconds to take pictures, which, if successful, will pioneer future flight missions on the red planet. Initially it was slated for lift off on April 9 but a technical glitch had caused the delay.
