After more than a year of accomplishments, NASA has extended flight operations of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter through September. The space agency’s $2.2-billion rover landed on Mars on Feb. 18, 2021, allowing the experimental Ingenuity helicopter to hitch a ride to the red planet. The six-wheeled rover Perseverance has made remarkable discoveries and accomplishments in its first year, like breaking a record for the most distance driven by a Mars rover in a single day. It traveled almost 1,050 feet on Feb. 14, 2022.
