NASA’s pioneering helicopter Ingenuity has made its final Mars flight.
Ingenuity — the first-ever robot to ply the skies of an alien world — suffered rotor-blade damage during its most recent hop and “is no longer capable of flight,” NASA announced today (Jan. 25).
“The historic journey of Ingenuity, the first aircraft on another planet, has come to an end,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in an agency statement.
