机智号的立体影像
3D Ingenuity

Explanation: The multicolor, stereo imaging Mastcam-Z on the Perseverance rover zoomed in to captured this 3D close-up (get out your red/blue glasses) of the Mars Ingenuity helicopter on mission sol 45, April 5. That’s only a few sols before the technology demonstrating Ingenuity will attempt to fly in the thin martian atmosphere, making the first powered flight on another planet. The historic test flight is planned for no earlier than Sunday, April 11. Casting its shadow on the martian surface, Ingenuity is standing alone on four landing legs next to the rover’s wheel tracks. The experimental helicopter’s solar panel, charging batteries that keep it warm through the cold martian nights and power its flight, sits above its two 1.2 meter (4 foot) long counter-rotating blades.

说明: 在4月5日（第46火星日），毅力号火星车的桅杆相机Z，为机智号火星直升机拍下了这幅多彩的立体特写影像（请用红/蓝眼镜观看）。拍照的这天，离机智号试图在火星的稀薄大气中进行动力飞航，以验证这项科技是否可行，只有数天之遥。这次的历史性试飞，时日不会早于4月11日。在这幅影像里，于火星表面投下影子的机智号，伫立在火星车的轮痕之旁，4条降落支架完全开展。这部实验性质的直升机，配备有位在它1.2米对转旋翼上方、替电池充电的太阳能板，电池除了为直升机控温让它渡过火星的寒夜之外，也为飞行提供能源。
