#Flight57 took place on Sunday, Sep 3 2023. The #MarsHelicopter chose to land at a place between two rocks, and apparently it managed it without hurting itself 😬

Ready for #Flight57 of the #MarsHelicopter 😀 ?

#Ingenuity will cover 204m of flight distance to the north, though maybe not in a straight line. The path shown is a guess; also shown is the 204 range circle in green.
