Along the way, it will continue testing its own capabilities to support the design of future Mars air vehicles.<\/p>\n<section class=\"article-banner first-banner ads-336x280\">\n         <!-- \/4988204\/Phys_Story_InText_Box --><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<p>The announcement comes on the heels of the rotorcraft&#8217;s 21st successful flight, the first of at least three needed for the helicopter to cross the northwest portion of a region known as &#8220;S\u00e9\u00edtah&#8221; and reach its next staging area.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Less than a year ago we didn&#8217;t even know if powered, controlled flight of an aircraft at Mars was possible,&#8221; said Thomas Zurbuchen, the associate administrator of NASA&#8217;s Science Mission Directorate. &#8220;Now, we are looking forward to Ingenuity&#8217;s involvement in Perseverance&#8217;s second science campaign. Such a transformation of mindset in such a short period is simply amazing, and one of the most historic in the annals of air and space exploration.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ingenuity&#8217;s new area of operations is entirely different from the modest, relatively flat terrain it has been flying over since its first flight last April. Several miles wide and formed by an ancient river, the fan-shaped delta rises more than 130 feet (40 meters) above the crater floor. Filled with jagged cliffs, angled surfaces, projecting boulders, and sand-filled pockets that could stop a rover in its tracks (or upend a helicopter upon landing), the delta promises to hold numerous geologic revelations\u2014perhaps even the proof necessary to determine that microscopic life once existed on Mars billions of years ago.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n    <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"NASA Extends Ingenuity Helicopter Mission\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch\/?v=8wiOJsKdz04\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"NASA Extends Ingenuity Helicopter Mission\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"uploadDate\" content=\"2022-03-15T17:02:21-04:00\"\/><br \/>\n        <meta itemprop=\"embedUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8wiOJsKdz04\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" content=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/8wiOJsKdz04\/maxresdefault.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p>             <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"NASA\u2019s Mars Rovers Are On the Move and Bringing the Public Along (NASA Mars Report March 15, 2022)\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8wiOJsKdz04?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p>Upon reaching the delta, Ingenuity&#8217;s first orders will be to help determine which of two dry river channels Perseverance should take when it&#8217;s time to climb to the top of the delta. Along with routing assistance, data provided by the helicopter will help the Perseverance team assess potential science targets. Ingenuity may even be called upon to image geologic features too far afield (or outside of the rover&#8217;s traversable zone), or perhaps scout landing zones and caching sites for the Mars Sample Return program.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Jezero river delta campaign will be the biggest challenge the Ingenuity team faces since first flight at Mars,&#8221; said Teddy Tzanetos, Ingenuity team lead at NASA&#8217;s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. &#8220;To enhance our chances of success, we have increased the size of our team and are making upgrades to our flight software geared toward improving operational flexibility and flight safety.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"mb-4\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/VideoObject\">\n    <meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"NASA Extends Ingenuity Helicopter Mission\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"url\" content=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/video\/2022\/nasa-extends-ingenuity.mp4\"\/><br \/>\n    <meta itemprop=\"description\" content=\"The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter\u2019s carbon fiber blades can be seen in this video taken by the Mastcam-Z instrument aboard NASA\u2019s Perseverance Mars rover on April 8, 2021, the 48th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

Credit: NASA\/JPL-Caltech\/ASU<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>Higher flights<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Several of these upgrades have led to reduced navigation errors during flight, which increases both flight and landing safety. A recent software change already on the rotorcraft frees Ingenuity from its previously programmed maximum altitude of 50 feet (15 meters). The altitude gains could result in incremental increases in both air speed and range. A second upgrade allows Ingenuity to change airspeed as it flies. Another enables it to better understand and adjust to changes in terrain texture during flight. Future software upgrades may include adding terrain elevation maps into the navigation filter and a landing-hazard-avoidance capability.<\/p>\n<p>Before aerial reconnaissance of the delta can begin, Ingenuity has to complete its journey to the area. Scheduled for no earlier than March 19, Ingenuity&#8217;s next flight will be a complex journey, about 1,150 feet (350 meters) in length, that includes a sharp bend in its course to avoid a large hill. After that, the team will determine whether two or three more flights will be required to complete the crossing of northwest S\u00e9\u00edtah.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-gallery lightGallery\">\n<div data-thumb=\"https:\/\/scx1.b-cdn.net\/csz\/news\/tmb\/2022\/nasa-extends-ingenuity-1.jpg\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scx2.b-cdn.net\/gfx\/news\/2022\/nasa-extends-ingenuity-1.jpg\" data-sub-html=\"This annotated image depicts the multiple flights \u2013 and two different routes \u2013 NASA\u2019s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter could take on its trip to Jezero Crater\u2019s delta.

After another four flights, six more minutes in the air, and traveling a total distance of 1,637 feet (499 meters), NASA transitioned Ingenuity into an operations demonstration phase, testing its ability to provide an aerial dimension to the Perseverance mission. With the completion of Flight 21, the rotorcraft has logged over 38 minutes aloft and traveled 2.9 miles (4.64 kilometers). As Ingenuity pushes farther into uncharted territory, these numbers will inevitably go up, and previous flight records will more than likely fall.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This upcoming flight will be my 22nd entry in our logbook,&#8221; said Ingenuity chief pilot H\u00e5vard Grip of JPL. &#8220;I remember thinking when this all started, we&#8217;d be lucky to have three entries and immensely fortunate to get five.
