NASA’s Creative Mars Helicopter heeft dit beeld vastgelegd met behulp van zijn navigatiecamera. Deze camera is gemonteerd in de romp van de helikopter en is recht naar beneden gericht om de grond tijdens de vlucht te volgen. Deze afbeelding is gemaakt op 6 november 2021 (SOL 254 van de Perseverance Rover-missie) om 12:06:00 gemiddelde lokale zonnetijd. Dit was de datum van Ingenuity’s vijftiende vlucht.

Momentopnamen van[{” attribute=””>Mars helicopter’s navigation camera reveals a small piece of foreign object debris (FOD).
During a portion of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter’s 33rd flight, a small piece of foreign object debris (FOD) was seen in footage (see video below) from the Mars helicopter’s navigation camera (Navcam).
This foreign object debris was not visible in Navcam footage from the previous flight (32). The FOD is seen in Flight 33 Navcam imagery from the earliest frames to around halfway through the video, when it fell from the leg and drifted back to the Mars surface. All telemetry from the flight and a post-flight search and transfer are nominal and show no indication of vehicle damage. The Ingenuity and Perseverance Mars 2020 teams are currently working to determine the source of the debris.

The FOD is seen attached to one of the rotorcraft’s landing legs (upper right part of image), then drifting away. Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech
