Episode Three – Ingenuity Takes Flight
NASA’s new Mars rover, Perseverance won’t be the only state-of-art craft blasting off to the red planet this week. It’s also carrying a special stowaway, that’s set to attempt a soaring feat in space exploration.

Ingenuity will ride along with the rover to the surface, and once dropped off, the drone aims to achieve a new flight first. Our special series continues, with Lu Parker, showing us how this Mars helicopter could make aviation history, and take exploring alien worlds to new heights.
