Nasa's Ingenuity copter set to push its limits for next flight on Mars

Nasa's Ingenuity helicopter, operating on the surface of Mars, is aiming for new records for its next flight. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said that the small solar-charged rotorcraft will be "taking things to a new level" in Flight 9, its next journey, where Ingenuity will be travelling in high-speed across unfamiliar terrain far away from the Perseverence rover.

For its next flight, Ingenuity will try to break its own records in distance, time aloft, and groundspeed.
