Pioneering Mars exploration concepts before "space economy" claimed all available taxpayer money to line the pockets of billionaires:
#SkyFall Mars Helicopters
Using the “Skyfall Maneuver”—an innovative entry, descent, and landing technique flying the helicopters down to the Mars surface under their own power, thus eliminating the necessity for an expensive, complex, and risky lander.

Animation of HELI_NAV images captured during flight 17 of #Ingenuity (Dec 5, 2021).
Processed, undistorted and stabilized, they give a dramatic impression of the regolith megaripple environment of an area called Seitah, where the #MarsHelicopter spent a year flying and scouting for the rover #Perseverance.
Of course the heli's shadow is an eye catcher, but if you look at the rest of the frame you may see some megaripples take the shape of strange creatures 😨

Mars Rotors Push Past Sonic Limits in Ground Tests
How did NASA test new Mars helicopter blades? New rotors reached Mach 1.08 to help future missions carry more weight and fly further on the Red Planet.

NASA engineers successfully spun new rotor blades at Mach 1.08 in a simulator. This is faster than the Ingenuity helicopter, which never broke the sound barrier.

While waiting for news from #Ingenuity in the past, new ways were devised to keep the excitement high. Here, #Ingenuity was spotted from 480m afar after #Flight48 , by flickering before/after images captured by #Perseverance 11 sols apart.

#Ingenuity's #Flight47 captured from 120m away by #Perseverance on Sol 729. The camera was fixed and set to a 34mm focal length to capture as much of the action as possible, so resolution is not great, but this version zooms in and follows the #MarsHelicopter while it flies across the field, hopefully adding to the visual result.

"NASA believes it understands why Ingenuity crashed on Mars" by @arstechnica / @sciguyspace - First ever investigation into an aircraft crash on another planet has concluded. #NASA #MarsHelicopter🚁 #Ingenuity had difficulty auto-navigating on flat featureless terrain. Unable to detect and counteract its wind drift, it touched down with horizontal motion that tipped it over, and damaged all its rotor blades on impact, and ripped one off. https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/12/nasa-believes-it-understands-why-ingenuity-crashed-on-mars/ #Mars #aviation #avgeek #drone

사상 처음으로 다른 행성에서 항공사고가 났습니다. #MarsHelicopter
2021년에 화성에서 임무를 시작한 무인 헬리콥터 NASA Ingenuity는 예정된 몇 개월간의 임무를 마치고 무기한의 연장 임무를 수행중이었습니다.
Ingenuity는 카메라를 이용해 지형을 판단하는데, 인식 문제로 기울어진 표면에 착륙했습니다.
2800RPM이라는 로터 회전률은 로터를 부러뜨리기에 충분했고, 이제 Ingenuity는 날지 못합니다.
아직 확실한 정황은 더 조사해봐야겠지만, 이게 일단 확인된 내용 전부이며, 컨퍼런스에서 발표가 진행되었습니다. 컨퍼런스 내용은 밑 링크에 있습니다.

We might as well now say goodbye to #Ingenuity, for it will be very long till #Perseverance has an opportunity to be in radio range with the #MarsHelicopter again, or have a line-of-sight to it.
As seen in the map, this is the closest the rover will get to the heli being visible (light toned area) for several years.
