Perseverance rover’s first-ever selfie also shows Mars helicopter

NASA's Perseverance rover has snapped its first selfie on Mars, sharing the frame with the tiny Mars helicopter, Ingenuity. Perseverance, which arrived on the red planet in spectacular fashion on February 18, 2021, with Ingenuity attached to its underbelly, recently deployed the helicopter to the Martian surface . In just a few days from now, the helicopter will attempt to become the first aircraft to perform powered flight on another planet. The selfie, captured on April 6, shows the two machines about 13 feet (3.9 meters) apart. You can also see tire marks carved into the surface by Perseverance's six wheels. In addition to the still frame above, the space agency also posted an animated version (below) that shows Perseverance's SuperCam switching its glance between the helicopter and the camera taking the selfie.
