NASA releases first audio of mini-helicopter’s flight on Mars | THE DAILY TRIBUNE | KINGDOM OF BAHRAIN

NASA released the first audio recording from one of its Ingenuity helicopter's flights on Mars on Friday.

The Perseverance rover, which landed on Mars in February with the mini-helicopter on board, recorded the audio with a microphone on Ingenuity's fourth flight at the end of April, the US space agency said.

It is both the first audio recording of a flight on Mars and the first made by one spacecraft of a separate spacecraft on another planet, dpa reported.
