Latest video of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter kicking up dust and taking off for Flight #47. Ingenuity is well beyond its warranty at this point. The video was captured by the Mastcam-Z imager aboard NASA’s Perseverance rover on March 9, 2023.bookers555 t1_jdrfc4p wrote

Nothing controlled remotely in space is operated via direct input like if it was an RC car.
In this case they introduce commands that basically tell it "fly up X meters, go forward X meters, land, shut down engine".
Spacecraft function in a similar way, and in certain situations they can also act automatically.
