The tiny helicopter is now surviving on Mars alone and tests of the onboard imaging system (i.e. the camera) have been successful.
The next step is to unstrap the rotors and test the motor. If this goes well, Ingenuity might fly as soon as Sunday.
(Ingenuity is purely a tech demonstration mission and will not be doing any science, but if it flies we'll get some neat pictures).
