First aircraft on another world reestablishes contact with earth
The Ingenuity Mars Helicopter arrived on the red planet together with the Mars Perseverance rover, which was launched in July 2020.
NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter was captured by the Perseverance rover’s Mastcam-Z on April 16, not long after the rotorcraft’s 50th flight. The helicopter would soon fall silent for 63 days due hilly terrain that interrupted communications between the rover and aircraft.(photo credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS)ByJERUSALEM POST STAFF
