NASA confirmed the successful flight during a live broadcast at 10:52 GMT, when data from the flight, which was conducted roughly three hours earlier, arrived back on Earth.
The Ingenuity helicopter was launched from the Perseverance rover.
The 4-pound rotorcraft successfully hovered at 10 feet above Mars' surface for roughly 30 seconds.
