Mars helicopter preps to be first aircraft to perform flight on another planet

As part of its next Mars mission, NASA is sending an experimental helicopter to fly through the red planet's thin atmosphere.

Ingenuity is a robotic helicopter that is planned to be used to test the technology to scout interesting targets on Mars, and help plan the best driving route for future Mars rovers.
