The complimentary souvenir sheets in this collection are also fun, like this sheet showing Ingenuity. Perseverance, when it landed on Mars in February 2021, wasn’t alone. The rover was packing a tiny helicopter in its belly, which became the first powered aircraft to lift off from the surface of another planet, which it did on April 19, 2021. The Ingenuity helicopter has logged 28 flights since reaching the Red Planet.
