NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter has made its final flight after sustaining damage to "one or more" of its rotor blades, the US space agency said on January 25, 2024. The mini-aircraft made history by achieving the first powered, controlled flight on another planet on April 19, 2021, and the last of its 72 flights took place on January 18, a statement said.
