Another flight and another record for Ingenuity! 🚁
The #MarsHelicopter completed Flight 61, breaking the altitude record it set on Flight 59 by reaching ~79 ft (24 m). This was a pop-up flight that lasted about 129 seconds. http://go.nasa.gov/3OIDIT3

Mars Helicopter - NASA
The Mars Helicopter is a technology demonstration to test powered flight on another planet for the first time.
Aditya-L1 Mission:
The Spacecraft is healthy and on its way to Sun-Earth L1.
A Trajectory Correction Maneuvre (TCM), originally provisioned, was performed on October 6, 2023, for about 16 s. It was needed to correct the trajectory evaluated after tracking the Trans-Lagrangean Point 1 Insertion (TL1I) maneuvre performed on September 19, 2023.
TCM ensures that the spacecraft is on its intended path towards the Halo orbit insertion around L1.
As Aditya-L1 continues to move ahead, the magnetometer will be turned on again within a few days.

An updated schedule of Russian lunar missions was presented yesterday at the 14th International Symposium on Solar System Research. #Luna26 (orbiter) will not be launched earlier, as some of the experts expected. #Luna27 is now scheduled for NET 2028 (instead of 2028) and has a backup. It will be launched few months after Luna-27.

🚀PSLV-C58 with #XPoSat is scheduled to launch on January 1st at 9:10am from Sriharikota.
Exciting news from space exploration!
🛰 India's XpoSat, the 1st X-ray polarimetry satellite in the country and the 2nd in the world, is set to unveil the mysteries of black holes, pulsars, and active galactic nuclei. POLIX and XSPECT are ready for action! 🌌🔭 Six years of anticipation, and the cosmic journey is about to begin. Kudos to PSLV POEM for carrying 10 more payloads. New discoveries are on the horizon – 'Narmally' into the New Year! 🚀✨ #XpoSat
