Aw.
What happened to the helicopter?!
Credit: https://twitter.com/daily_hopper/status/1748832607830147198 NASA: The marshelicopter executed Flight 72 on Jan. 18, but on its descent, communication between Ingenuity and NASA rover Perseverance terminated prior to touchdown. The team is analyzing available data and considering next steps to reestablish comms.
Update:
Good news today: We've reestablished contact with the #MarsHelicopter after instructing NASA rover Perseverance 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.
GINNY IS ALIVE!

Again proving that humans will pack bond with anything.
We’re all getting misty eyed and concerned for a (really bloody cool) EC helicopter on Mars.
Go science!
