Ready to test
Project Manager of Ingenuity Helicopter, MiMi Aung said that there is always uncertainty in space. This flight testing was to be done on April 11, but it could not be done due to technical difficulties. Later the team updated its software. Now we are ready for testing.
Flying on mars
Let us know that the Ingenuity Helicopter has passed the Rapid Spin Test. The helicopter will fly to Mars without help from Earth. According to NASA, if the Ingenuity helicopter managed to take off and fly some distance, then 90 percent of the Mars mission would be completed. If it continues to work even after landing, then 4 more flights will be tested.

Why is helicopter needed on Mars?
The need for an Ingenuity Helicopter on Mars is because it has a bumpy surface. Orbiters are not able to take clear pictures from a height. At the same time, the rover cannot go to every corner. In this case, the ingenuity chopper is the best. It can fly and take high-definition photos.
