How to watch the Mars helicopter Ingenuity's first flight online [View all]
By Elizabeth Howell a day ago
Ingenuity is ready to attempt its first flight April 19.
The first helicopter is expected to attempt the first-ever flight on Mars on Monday (April 19) and you can follow it all online. The flight has been delayed since April 11.
NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity flight coverage will begins at 6:15 a.m. EDT (1015 GMT) on Monday, with a post-flight press conference at 2 p.m. EDT (1800 GMT). You can watch that live on Space.com and on this page, courtesy of NASA TV, or directly from NASA Television, the NASA smartphone app, the agency's website and several social media platforms (such as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's YouTube and Facebook channels.)
Ingenuity, which rode to Mars on the belly of the Perseverance rover, is expected to take to the air at 3:30 a.m. EDT (0730 GMT) on Monday, but the data from that flight won't arrive on Earth until several hours later. NASA's 6:15 a.m. EDT livestream will cover that data's arrival with live views from Ingenuity's control center at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.
