The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum has accepted into its collection an aerial prototype of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter. The prototype has been donated to the museum by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In April 2021, Ingenuity became the first aircraft to fly in the atmosphere of another planet when it made its first flight on Mars. The prototype NASA has donated to the museum was used in tests at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in a simulated Mars environment and was the first Ingenuity prototype to demonstrate that flight on Mars was possible.
