NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity has survived its first frigid night alone on the Red Planet. It is a small robotic helicopter which is used to made an experimental on Mars. It is the First aircraft and First flight test.  Ingenuity is built within a 0.6-mile (1-kilometer) radius of Perseverance so it can communicate wirelessly with the rover. Ingenuity is landed at Mars on February 18th,2021. The Ingenuity Helicopter is attached to the Belly of Perseverance roller(NASA's). It is Manufactured by Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Its originally planned to development on April 8th,2021. And its planned to take off on April 11th 2021. 

NASA's Perseverance rover is Launched from Cape Canaveral, SLC-41 on 30th of July,2020 at 11:50:00 UTC. NASA has invested about US$80 million to build Ingenuity and about US$5 million to operate the helicopter. Ingenuity's flight preparation process has been slow and cautious. Perseverance rover the Ingenuity is placed in its belly part, because the 4-lb. (1.8 kilograms) helicopter made the journey to Mars in a folded configuration. This is tucked behind a protective shield.

The Major Milestone mark is set's before its Unlocking and testing Ingenuity's blades before the helicopter is attempt to fly. Then NASA will tests the Helicopter's blades first at 50 revolutions and then at 2,400 revolutions per minute before the helicopter get to fly.

NASA confirmed to will launch the Livestream in its NASA website and agency's website of Ingenuity First Flight is targeted to start around 3:30 am EDT on 12th April 2021.

The Ingenuity technology is used to demonstrator could help to form the formation on which more capable aircraft. This may used for further aerial exploration of Mars and other planetary targets with an atmosphere. Further helicopters could be used to help of explore special regions with exposed water or ice, where the Earth's Microbial life could potentially survive.
