Five Meters over Mars

Explanation: On mission sol 872 (Earth date August 3) Ingenuity snapped this sharp image on its 54th flight above the surface of the Red Planet. During the flight the Mars Helicopter hovered about 5 meters, or just over 16 feet, above the Jezero crater floor. Tips of Ingenuity’s landing legs peek over the left and right edges in the camera’s field of view. Tracks visible near the upper right corner lead to the Perseverance Mars Rover, seen looking on from a distance at the top right edge of the frame. Planned as a brief “pop-up” flight, Ingenuity’s 54th flight lasted less than 25 seconds. It followed Ingenuity’s 53rd flight made on July 22 that resulted in an unscheduled landing.

说明: 在火星任务第872日（地球历8月3日），机智号于第54次飞航在火星上空之时，拍下了这张清晰影像。在飞行的途中，这部火星直升机盘旋在耶杰罗坑上方约5米（略高于16英尺）高处。影像中，机智号降落支架的尖端，隐约出现在相机视野的左缘及右缘，而右上角则可见到在远处监看的毅力号火星车。机智号的第54次规划任务，是“弹出”式、持续不到25秒的短暂飞行。在此之前，机智号于7月22日的第53次飞航，发生了计划外的著陆。
