NASA Mars 2020 Ingenuity Seventh Flight

The seventh flight of Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took it to a new base of operations about 106 meters south of its current location. This marked the second time the helicopter landed at an airfield that it did not survey from the air during a previous flight. Instead, the Ingenuity team relied on imagery collected by the HiRISE camera aboard NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter that suggests this new base of operations is relatively flat and has few surface obstructions.
