Explanation:
The Mars Ingenuity
Helicopter,
all four landing legs down,
was captured here on sol 39 (March 30) slung beneath the belly of
the Perseverance rover.
The near ground level
view is a mosaic of images
from the WATSON camera on the rover's SHERLOC robotic arm.
Near the center of the frame the experimental helicopter
is suspended just a few centimeters above the martian surface.
Tracks from Perseverance extend beyond the rover's wheels with the rim
of Jezero crater visible about 2 kilometers in the distance.
Ingenuity has a
weight of 1.8 kilograms or 4 pounds on Earth.
That corresponds to a
weight
of 0.68 kilograms or 1.5 pounds
on Mars.
With rotor blades spanning 1.2 meters it will attempt to make the
first powered flight of an aircraft
on
another planet
in the thin martian atmosphere, 1 percent as dense as Earth's,
no
earlier than sol 48 (April 8).
