After four historic flights, the Ingenuity Mars helicopter is ready to fly to a new destination.

As with previous flights, Ingenuity will take off from Wright Brothers Field, but it's not coming back.

The Perseverance rover, which has been capturing video and images of the helicopter's flights, also shared audio it collected from Ingenuity's fourth flight using the rover's microphones. The Wright brothers flew higher and farther using upgraded versions of the Flyer in 1904 and 1905 and carried their first air passenger in 1908.

"The Wrights showed what could be accomplished with a combination of teamwork, creativity, and tenacity -- and a bit of ingenuity and perseverance," Ravich wrote. The continuation of Ingenuity's mission will proceed as long as it remains on a"not to interfere" basis with the science mission of the Perseverance rover.
