NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity managed to snap a photo of the agency's Perseverance rover from the air on Sunday (April 25), providing an unprecedented view of a robotic explorer on the surface of another world.
"Oh hey, there I am! Never thought I’d be the subject of another photographer on Mars. Great capture by the #MarsHelicopter team," Perseverance's handlers said via the rover's official @NASAPersevereTwitter account on Tuesday evening (April 27), when the photo was released.
NASA's Pathfinder lander photographed the first-ever Mars rover, Sojourner, on the Red Planet back in 1997. But both of those robots were firmly on the ground.
