#flight68 — Public Fediverse posts

Footprints on the regolith from both #Flight68 and #Flight69 can be seen in this image that was just downlinked. It appears #Ingenuity's signal at #Perseverance's new location at RMC 49.2818 is much stronger.

Note: the electronics are still functional, sending images to the rover.

It may be 1.1km away and not a clear line-of-sight to #Ingenuity, but it sure is open space and a beautiful scene of Neretva Vallis. Images from #Flight68 should now be easier to receive. That is, if the flight happened on Saturday, as planned.
