This is the most challenging flight of “Wit” so far . It has to fly over a rocky area called “Raised Ridges”, passing 10 different waypoints. The maximum altitude of “Gizwit” this time reached 40 feet (approximately 12 meters), setting a new altitude record, with a total flying distance of approximately 310 feet (approximately 95 meters) . From take-off to landing, the entire flight of “Wizwit” lasted 165.4 seconds.
During the flight, “Wizwit” is expected to take a series of images, which may help scientists create three-dimensional images of the rocky area of the “bump ridge”. Scientists are considering sending the “Perseverance” rover to this ridge area.
