Where no rover has gone before: how Mars helicopters enable a new era of exploration

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://spacenews.com/where-no-rover-has-gone-before-how-mars-helicopters-enable-a-new-era-of-exploration/

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.

Talking about #Ingenuity…

"[T]he helicopter still beams weather and avionics test data to the #Perseverance rover about once a week." 😍 😍 💕 (last heard from it on Nov 21, Sol 1330)

A detailed assessment of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter’s final flight on Jan. 18, 2024, which will be published in the next few weeks as a NASA technical report.

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.

And, lo and behold, the #MarsHelicopter IS VISIBLE!

From a distance of roughly 2km, it occupies 6 whole pixels in total! 😃

#Ingenuity would be easy to spot in an image if it occupied a few visible pixels, since the line-of-sight to the #MarsHelicopter passes right above the Mount Washburn group of hills, where #Perseverance had been 102 sols ago.

Maps were made with #QGIS using #NASA's #MMGIS data and #USGS, #HiRISE DTMs and imagery

#Mars2020 #Solarocks #Space

Yes, that's where #Ingenuity is.

But we can't see it in NAVCAM images, maybe not even in 110mm MastamZ zooms. The SUPERCAM telescope *might* be able to pick up a few pixels of it, if it ever targeted the #MarsHelicopter.

Well, we may have gotten what we wished 😀 !

#Perseverance has moved again, AND, has changed site a̲g̲a̲i̲n̲, to 58. What made the team change two site numbers in just two sols? The terrain around seems uninteresting (although IANAG)

But…

Spending a few sols listening for, taking a few shots, and downloading images from the #MarsHelicopter IS indeed a very good reason. Maybe this double change of site right where #Ingenuity becomes visible again may not be a coincidence.

#NASA #Solarocks #Space

#Ingenuity is seen here sticking its solar panel above the sandy waves of #ValinorHills in this image from Sol 1152 received today. While the solar panel of the #MarsHelicopter may still be visible from the rover at its present location on Sol 1159, it will soon disappear when #Perseverance clears the ripples it's facing on its way northwest to Bright Angel.

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.

Maybe one of our last images of #Ingenuity, if one can call those few pixels an "image" of the #MarsHelicopter. There haven't been any SUPERCAM images from this new angle so far, so such wide FOV NAVCAM images is all that we have.

I reprocessed the Sol 1110 Ingenuity image with AI-upscaling to improve visual fidelity.

As @65dBnoise already noted, there seems to be disturbed sand on the other side of the sand ripple. We are still hoping for SuperCam images of the area to get a better understanding of what happened.

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.

On Sol 1100 #Perseverance drove 33m to a new location, 18m WSW, apparently trying to avoid a sandy patch south of the rocky top in front of it. It's now 373m away from #Ingenuity, but the #MarsHelicopter is still not in view.

Finally on Sol 1063 #Perseverance did the right thing and backed off 23m to an area where it (most probably) has line-of-site to #Ingenuity, so more images of the #MarsHelicopter can be captured, especially images with its SUPERCAM telescope.

The previous location where Perseverance captured images of the Ingenuity is shown with a green rover.

The maps were drawn with #QGIS using data from #NASA's #MMGIS with imagery from #USGS and #HiRISE

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

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.

Another sol, another drive for #Perseverance. 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.

The path shown is a guess.

Here is a fresh animation of images captured by #Ingenuity from 06:06 to 09:17 AM tosol, Sol 1043, showing clearly that at least two of the 4 rotor blades were damaged during #Flight72.

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.

It's sad to see the shadow of Ingenuity's rotor blade like this. According to Teddy Tzanetos, the outer 25% of the lower rotor are missing, presumably due to an impact with the ground during landing of Flight 72.

The end of #Ingenuity's mission on Mars.

As I have been posting lately, images and events around #Flight71 and #Flight72 indicated that something had gone wrong with the #MarsHelicopter (see next post for references)

#NASA's new status update confirms that #Flight72 was the last one for the mighty little helicopter.

as if something dragged or hit the ground during #Flight71 (https://mastodon.social/@65dBnoise/111750833533763835)

The fact that there is just one image from #Flight71 attests to the fact that communication with the rover was already bad before the flight, and probably remained bad after popup #Flight72 which landed at about the same location.

3/3

#MarsHelicopter #Ingenuity #Mars2020 #NASA #Solarocks #Space

#Perseverance lost communications with #Ingenuity during the #MarsHelicopter's descent for landing after its pop-up #Flight72, a few sols ago.

The helicopter was already out of sight and at a distance of ~1km, as seen in the map below. There is an obstructing mound about midway that rises 13m above the line-of-sight, which might be the reason for the loss of signal. Despite that, assuming Ingenuity's landing software worked as usual, the helicopter may be in good health, but

#Ingenuity might be going through some hard times, it appears. Communications terminated early during #Flight72 just before touchdown, a (rare) postflight JPL status update says:

#Ingenuity is ready for a pop-up #Flight72 up to 12m, on Sol 1036, so that the team (and we) can see where it ended up after its emergency landing. We'll also see those deep marks it made in the regolith and have something more solid to speculate upon.

Goal of flight: Localization.

Awesome new #MarsGuy episode about the record breaking #MarsHelicopter Flight 59!
I may be biased though, because I processed the images for this one :)
