by The small chopper surpassed the 1-mile (1.6 km) mark of its total flight distance on Saturday (July 24) when soared over a rocky region called "Raised Ridges" at its Jezero Crater home.
The sortie was the 10th and highest trip yet for Ingenuity, which arrived on Mars with NASA's Perseverance rover in February. Ingenuity's first flight occurred in April.
Flight 10 was the most challenging yet for Ingenuity, with 10 different waypoints for the helicopter to hit as it flew over its "Raised Ridges" target.
It reached a maximum altitude of 40 feet (12 meters), a new record height, and flew about 310 feet (95 m).
From take off to landing, the entire flight lasted 165.4 seconds. That's just under 3 minutes.
