NASA's Ingenuity Ready For 1st One-Way Flight On Mars, 5th Lift-Off In Total

NASA's rotorcraft on Mars is ready to ascend for a fifth time on May 8, which will also be Ingenuity's first one-way flight. In its fifth attempt, the helicopter plans for a 110-second flight where it will aim for a record height of 33 metres for snapping images of the surrounding terrain. NASA, in Ingenuity's fourth flight, had already mapped the new landing spot.
