Yes, NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter successfully completed its historic first flight on April 19, 2021. This milestone marked the first powered, controlled flight of an aircraft on another planet. The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which arrived on Mars attached to the Perseverance rover, demonstrated its capabilities by taking off, hovering, and landing autonomously on the Martian surface.

The first flight of Ingenuity was a brief, yet significant, vertical ascent to an altitude of about 10 feet (3 meters) above the ground. The helicopter remained airborne for approximately 30 seconds, demonstrating its ability to overcome the challenges posed by the thin Martian atmosphere, which has only about 1% the density of Earth's atmosphere. The successful execution of this initial test flight marked a groundbreaking achievement in the field of aerospace engineering and planetary exploration.
