Unlike with previous flights, this time Ingenuity flew over not the safe flat grounds, but over a sandy terrain called \"Séítah\". This kind of area is difficult, if not dangerous, for a rover to wheel through However, it can be easily surveyed from air. This proves that rover-helicopter combo can expand science value of the mission by covering more diverse areas which would not be possible to explore with a rover alone.","location":"Airfield E, Jezero crater, Mars","news_url":"https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/status/314/flight-9-was-a-nail-biter-but-ingenuity-came-through-with-flying-colors/","video_url":null,"feature_image":"https://thespacedevs-dev.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com/media/images/nasa_mars_2020__image_20210728154209.jpg","date":"2021-07-05T09:03:00Z","launches":[],"expeditions":[],"spacestations":[],"program":[]}
