WASHINGTON - NASA's Ingenuity mini-helicopter has survived its first night alone on the frigid surface of Mars, the US space agency said, hailing it as "a major milestone" for the tiny craft as it prepares for its first flight.

Making it through the frigid Martian night was "a major milestone for the small rotorcraft," NASA said in a statement Monday. Ingenuity is carrying a small piece of cloth that covered one of the wings of the Wright brothers' first aircraft, which achieved the first powered flight on Earth at Kitty Hawk in 1903, to pay tribute to the milestone.
