  1. I believe we can now reconstruct the last moments of #Ingenuity's #Flight72 with some certainty. The actual trajectory may be a little more complicated, e.g. turning while hopping, but we'll never know.

    EDIT: there is a new theory about Flight 71, see comments.

  6. #Ingenuity is indeed visible from the new location at RMC 51.3688. Especially the marks from its first bounce upon landing of #Flight72 should now be visible from a very favorable new angle, although of course not in this wide angle NAVCAM image.

  11. There are some new marks visible on the regolith ripple, that were previously hidden behind the crest. This will definitely change the way the #Flight72 landing events have been interpreted by the #MarsHelicopter team.

  21. Finally, on Sol 1059, #Ingenuity turned its blades to a new position, and it seems most (or all) of the 4th blade is missing.

  31. Another view of #Ingenuity from 450m afar, at its final landing after #Flight72. Its size in this 110mm MCZ image is a mere 30px, but it seems as if there are two gouges in the regolith, to the left of the heli, caused by its blades hitting the ground during landing.

The rover is approaching the northern edge of the rocky Margin Unit, getting closer to where #Ingenuity is located after its eventful #Flight72, but it still has no line-of-sight to the #MarsHelicopter. It may be in a better position for a first look in a sol or two, as seen in the visibility plot below.

    captured from RMC 72.0001/54
    Sol 1043, LMST: 06:06 to 09:17

    oriented with north up and animated at 4fps

  46. Dissecting #Ingenuity's accident.

    This animation shows one of the rotor blades before and after the #MarsHelicopter's 72nd landing. The fact that the image with the broken blade had to shrink and change perspective so much to match the other one is an indication of the RTE camera being much closer to the ground after landing 72.

    Superimposed, transformed RTE images from #Flight69 and #Flight72.
