Safe & sound on the surface of Mars: the #MarsHelicopter, Ingenuity, has survived the first cold night on its own, a major milestone for the small rotorcraft because surface temps can plunge as low as -130 degrees F (-90 degrees C). go.nasa.gov/3dztqB1

#MarsHelicopter is on the flight field!
#MarsHelicopter touchdown confirmed! Its 293 million mile (471 million km) journey aboard @NASAPersevere ended with the final drop of 4 inches (10 cm) from the rover's belly to the surface of Mars today. Next milestone? Survive the night. go.nasa.gov/ingenuity

First robot IN the #Moon? The @DaedalusSphere design, currently under study in #ESTEC's CDF, would be lowered down the skylight of a lunar cave before rolling away under its own power to perform 360 degree #lidar mapping of the tunnel interior esa.int/ESA_Multimedia/Image…
