Ingenuity can\u2019t be controlled with a joystick or observed in real-time, because it takes too long for\u00a0data to travel the\u00a0173-million-miles between Earth and Mars. Instead, the drone\u2019s course was guided by onboard algorithms.<\/p>\n<p>Those delays forced NASA to initially rely on telemetry to confirm that Ingenuity took flight. But the space agency has now received video footage of the feat, which was captured by cameras on the Perseverance rover.
