An artist's illustration depicting Ingenuity, NASA's Mars helicopter, taking flight on Mars. The small, toaster-sized helicopter with long rotors is seen hovering above the Martian surface near the Perseverance rover, which is visible in the distance leaving tire tracks in the reddish sand. The image showcases Ingenuity's pioneering role in space exploration.

A small machine (Ingenuity Mars helicopter) with helicopter rotor blades sitting on a red surface with small rocks.
The #Ingenuity #Marshelicopter was the 1st aircraft to fly on another planet. But on January 18, 2024, it suffered fatal damage to its rotor blades. #NASA has now released its initial findings. 🚁🔴

Ingenuity pourrait reprendre du service sur Mars, d'une manière différente.
Les légendes ne meurent jamais. 😄

The Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter made history... again. From 100 million miles away, we performed the first aircraft accident investigation on another planet. This analysis supports future flights on other worlds.
🚁 The mic even picked up the hum of the Ingenuity helicopter from 200 meters away!It’s the first time we’ve heard powered flight on another planet. #MarsHelicopter #Ingenuity
Today the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter said its final farewell to a dedicated team of visionaries, pioneers and engineers at NASA JPL who dreamed & then dared to make the bold idea of controlled flight on another planet a reality.
72 flights.
10+ miles flown.
Iconic pictures taken

A long goodbye. 🚁
Ingenuity's team received their final message from the #MarsHelicopter, which will now serve as a stationary testbed, collecting data that could benefit future explorers of the Red Planet. go.nasa.gov/3U0rTsW
NASA on X: Our Ingenuity MarsHelicopter flew 72 times over Jezero Crater—the first aircraft to achieve controlled, powered flight on another planet. Want to talk with the team that made it soar? Join us for an Ingenuity Reddit AMA on Tuesday, Feb. 27
The rocky, rust-red landscape of Mars, as seen from the air by NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter. Most of the photo is taken up by rolling Martian hills, captured from a slightly fisheye perspective; near the very top left of the photo, NASA's Perseverance Mars rover can just barely be seen in the far distance. A sliver of sky at the top of this photo is a grainy blue. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech

Uusi video! Mikä tuli, Mars-kopteri Ingenuity? Miksi hyydyit? Kerron lentämisestä Marsissa ja tästä parikiloisesta räpyttelijästä tarkemmin tällä reissun päällä tehdyllä videolla. @nasa #marshelicopter

Before driving off, NASA's Perseverance rover took this picture of Ingenuity perched on a sand dune in the distance.
So long, little friend. You made everyone proud.

NASA on X:
"Ingenuity has taken its final flight, but its achievements will push exploration to new heights.
What questions do you have about our #MarsHelicopter? Share them with #AskNASA and our experts will answer live on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 1pm ET (1800 UTC)"

The first two of a few images I'll be reprocessing at random over the next days, looking back at #Ingenuity the #MarsHelicopter through the eyes of #Perseverance rover.
To begin with, have you ever seen a robot giving birth before?

☹️ It’s just a machine, and yet I’m sad that it’s (probably) over, despite it over-delivering on its expected life span and task. #Ingenuity #NASA #MarsHelicopter
Nuevas imágenes confirman que el pequeño helicóptero sufrió daños en el rotor durante su Vuelo 72, poniendo fin así a una misión en Marte que superó toda expectativa. #ingenuity #marshelicopter #marte #helicoptero #nasa mysteryplanet.com.ar/site/ingenui...
What a shame about #Ingenuity. Such a great little #marshelicopter. 72/5 flights. Nasa really knops how to best expectations #Voyager
Schlechte Nachricht:
Der #MarsHelicopter ist außer Funktion 😥
Ein Rotorblatt ist wohl gebrochen. Trotzdem eine großartige Leistung. Fast 3 Jahre auf dem Roten Planten und 72 Flüge. 👍👍👍

Contact reestablished with the #MarsHelicopter...

Happy news from JPL!
"Good news today: We've reestablished contact with the #MarsHelicopter after instructing @NASAPersevere to perform long-duration listening sessions for Ingenuity’s signal. The team is reviewing the new data to better understand the unexpected comms dropout during Flight 72."
Unfortunate news from JPL on Twitter:
"The #MarsHelicopter executed Flight 72 on Jan. 18, but on its descent, communication between Ingenuity and @NASAPersevere terminated prior to touchdown. The team is analyzing available data and considering next steps to reestablish comms. go.nasa.gov/4b3wRN6 "

"Ingenuity completed Flight 71!
The #MarsHelicopter landed successfully, but earlier than expected. The relatively featureless terrain it flew over (sand ripples with few or no rocks) proved to be a challenge for its navigation system. See the stats:"

El #MarsHelicopter completó su vuelo numero 70 recorriendo 260m durante 132seg.

An image taken by NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter using its navigation camera mounted in its fuselage. The black and white image was taken during the helicopter's 67th flight and shows the helicopter's view directly downward, showing mostly a sandy, rocky landscape. The shadow of the helicopter makes a tiny cameo in the upper left while one of it's four feet is visible in the upper right.
RePost @NASAJPL:
Ingenuity completed Flight 67 over the weekend, flying 393 meters for more than two minutes. The #MarsHelicopter repositioned itself to get ready for future flights.
