NASA explained how fifth flights of helicopter ingenuity would be different from the others

NASA has scheduled fifth flights to the helicopter of ingenuity on Mars for Friday, May 7. Flights target take off 12:33, or at 3:26 EDT night. Assuming the target of the target is beaten, the data will start to fall at 19:31 EDT. For fifth flights, ingenuity will take off from the Wright Brothers Field, the same location where the helicopter took off and touched all the other flights.

While the takeoff location for fifth flights will be the same, where the helicopter land will be different. During the fifth flight, the ingenuity would rise to a height of 16 feet and trace the path of the first four flights by South 423 feet. Instead of turning and returning to the starting point as before, ingenuity would rise to a new height of 33 feet while NASA took several colors and black-and-white areas of the area.

This flight is expected to last around 110 seconds before the land of the ingenuity marks the settlement of its first one-way flight. After landing in his new location, NASA said that it would start a new demonstration phase. The new demo phase will show what technology can do to help other missions at the end of the road. NASA uses a fourth helicopter flight to lurk a new landing zone of around 328 feet.

The intelligence team used data collected by helicopters to build digital altitude maps giving trust controlling mission that the newly flat and ideal airfield for landing. So far, ingenuity has been very successful, and NASA shows that helicopters are stronger than they expect.

Mission Controllers say the energy system has provided more than enough energy to keep the helicopter heater operate at night and to carry out flight operations during the day. Ingenuity will travel to a new base station because it needs to be closer to perseverance and a new base in the direction of Rover is heading.
