NASA's Ingenuity helicopter has been flying on Mars for nearly two years now, and it's still breaking records.
Ingenuity flew faster and higher than it ever had before on its most recent Red Planet sortie, which occurred on Sunday (April 2).
The 4-pound (1.8 kilograms) chopper reached a top speed of 14.5 mph (23.3 kph) and a maximum altitude of 52.5 feet (16 meters) on Sunday, according to the mission's flight log(opens in new tab). The previous records were 13.4 mph (21.6 kph) and 46 feet (14 m), respectively.
