Washington DC: NASA has rescheduled the first flight of its Ingenuity Mars helicopter. The agency has announced rescheduling of helicopter to April 19th at 3:30AM ET. The little helicopter arrived at Mars in February 2021. The mini-helicopter's trip will help NASA reap invaluable data about the conditions on the Red Planet.

The trip initially was set for last Sunday, but was delayed after a technical issue emerged. The report said that "A Livestream will begin at 6:15 am EDT, as the helicopter team prepares to receive the data downlink in the Space Flight Operations Facility at NASA`s Jet Propulsion Laboratory." It further added that the flight takes place on April 19, a postflight briefing will be held at 2 pm. The one week delay in original flight date was because engineers were working on preflight checks and a solution to a command sequence issue. This technology demonstration is supported by NASA`s Science, Aeronautics Research, and Space Technology mission directorates.

After the helicopter takes its flight, Ingenuity will send Perseverance technical data and that information will be transmitted back to Earth.
