the NASA has revealed to the whole world the complete images of the flight of the Wit in the area of the Jezero crater of Mart.
This Monday in the early hours of the morning, the small drone managed to make the first flight of a motor vehicle on another planet at 02:15 a. am. Peru, with the confirmation of the success of the mission at 5.15 in the morning.
Hours after the first images, the NASA has released the full video of the feat with the full 30 seconds of takeoff and landing. Ingenuity’s flight is delay several times due to a problem that required reinstalling your flight control software.
The video was shot at a focal length of 34 mm at 6.7 frames per second and is a sequence of approximately 1400 frames, according to the image scientist of Perseverance, Justin Maki.
A space heliport
With the flight made, now the Wit has been designated by the International Civil Aviation Organization as IGY-1.
Also, its flight point has become a space heliport called JZRO.
It is expected that, from there, the Wit perform up to four more flights, each of longer duration and altitude.
