Video: NASA's Mars Helicopter Surveys Perseverance Rover Landing Gear

A series of surreal images captured by NASA's Mars Ingenuity helicopter show the remnants of the Perseverance rover's landing gear that was shed when it arrived on the Red Planet last year. Shared on the space agency's website on Wednesday, the remarkable photos were taken last week during the interstellar rotocraft's 26th flight, which occurred on the one year anniversary of its historic maiden voyage. To commemorate the milestone, Ingenuity journeyed back to where it all began by flying over the location where the Perseverance rover, which carried the helicopter as part of its cargo, completed its fiery touchdown back in February of 2021.
