Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover & Ingenuity Helicopter

Mars 2020 is NASA’s latest Mars mission. Based on the design of the highly successful Curiosity rover, the mission’s Perseverance rover features a suite of scientific instruments to find out more about a possible history of microbial life on Mars, its climate and geology.
It also features a sample handling system and can store drill core samples in hermetically sealed tubes, to be picked up by a future sample-and-return mission to analyse the samples on earth.

For entry, descent and landing, the mission used again the spectacular skycrane maneuver to safely deliver the rover to the surface on Mars.
The maneuver was captured via several cameras on the Descent Stage, Skycrane and rover, you can watch the breathtaking footage in this video, where it was combined with the corresponding commentary from JPLs control room during the mission:

Part of the mission is Ingenuity, a small, lightweight helicopter. It traveled to mars tucked underneath the rover's chassis and was deployed onto the surface of mars after the landing.
On April 19 2021, Ingenuity achieved the historic first flight of an aircraft on another planet, which was captured by the rover’s cameras:

As of today, the helicopter has conducted 17 flights and continues to hop along Perseverance.
