#MarsHelicopter

Animation of the latest #MarsHelicopter flight for which we have complete data (sol 292). I'm so used to crawling Mars slowly, gently, carefully. Ingenuity's speed is breathtaking. pic.twitter.com/6mPZsSW7n8

Mars from the air is amazing. These images were taken by #Ingenuity on July 5, 2021 (sol 133), during the #MarsHelicopter's 9th flight on Mars. Check out those amazing rover tracks and rock formations! : NASA/JPL-Caltech pic.twitter.com/8gqd3PPcSX

My science team is poring over these color images from the #MarsHelicopter’s latest flight. Ingenuity crossed over a region that would be tricky for me to drive on, adding a new perspective to the picture of Jezero Crater that I’m piecing together.

Another possible reason for putting @NASAPersevere to this position is for the UHF antenna to have a clearer view to #Ingenuity, for its imminent 19th flight. The images show line-of-sight coverage for 1.7m and 5m heights, and antenna + direction to the #MarsHelicopter. 1/ pic.twitter.com/KCLT4LduFx

#MarsHelicopter update: Just like on Earth, Martian weather can cause flight delays! A recent dust storm on the Red Planet prevented Ingenuity from flying, so Flight 19 is now set for no earlier than Jan. 23. http://go.nasa.gov/3tGPaEA pic.twitter.com/d6ISHcqqkv

Flight No. 14 The #MarsHelicopter successfully performed a short hop in its current airfield to test out higher rpm settings so it can fly in lower atmospheric densities on the Red Planet. This test also leaves the team room for an rpm increase if needed for future flights. pic.twitter.com/bYCMgnrTyz

Coming down off the ridge and heading into the “South Séítah” region, which the #MarsHelicopter began scouting last month. Together, our cameras have spied some interesting rock formations up ahead.

The #MarsHelicopter successfully completed its 15th flight on Mars. It flew for 128.8 seconds. Preliminary localization places us within our targeted landing zone. Ingenuity opportunistically took images of science interest and they'll be processed soon. https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter …pic.twitter.com/ZV3ZQprPnw

The complete flight 17 of #Ingenuity. Took place on Sol 282, at 13:34:00 LMST, hence the large offset of the shadow from the center. Direction is NNE. 192 NAVCAM images, processed, played at 5 fps. Images: @NASAJPL-Caltech Flats: @kevinmgill & @stim3on #MarsHelicopter pic.twitter.com/gcMoO5UT6D

#MarsHelicopter continues to thrive! The mighty rotorcraft completed its 16th flight on the Red Planet last weekend, traveling 116 meters northeast for 109 seconds. It captured color images during the short hop, but those will come down in a later downlink. pic.twitter.com/JCtFCQws0m

Remember this place? This is where #Ingenuity is planed to land after its upcoming flight #19. The #marshelicopter will climb 10m above the rim of the crater it's in, and find a nice spot to wait for #PerseveranceRover, ~63m NE from its current location.

Exploring from the air. @NASAPersevere’s project scientist says his favorite photo from the most recent #MarsHelicopter flight provides a unique view of the “South Seítah” area, a region the rover could potentially visit on its science journey. http://go.nasa.gov/3B9XNbg  pic.twitter.com/DrJ6IJV2Ww

The #MarsHelicopter performed a record-breaking high-speed spin test on Sept. 15 but required some "servo-wiggle" tests since then. That means flight 14 will wait until after Mars solar conjunction ends in mid-October. Read what the team has been doing: http://go.nasa.gov/3APvYoN pic.twitter.com/DvgqEzdvMg

The #MarsHelicopter’s journey continues! Ingenuity’s next flight is scheduled no earlier than Dec. 5. The crossing of the “Séítah” region of Mars’ Jezero Crater will take at least two flights to better target safe landing sites and without excessive risk. https://go.nasa.gov/3xQ2t5J pic.twitter.com/S3aMqkbooE

It's time for more #MarsHelicopter flights! Ingenuity is gearing up for Flight 19 - the first one of 2022. The rotorcraft's path will carry it out of the South Séítah basin over a ridgeline & up onto a plateau. Flight 19 is set for no earlier than Jan. 7. http://go.nasa.gov/3eQcs27 pic.twitter.com/tB9MfsNqPU

The #MarsHelicopter did a rotor spin test at 2,800 rpm. Next up – flight 14 – which will take place no earlier than Sept. 17. It will be a short hop to confirm rpm settings for future scouting efforts that could take place in lower atmospheric densities: http://go.nasa.gov/3ErNyRW pic.twitter.com/HjuG5CrMbM

#MarsHelicopter has flown a total of 30 minutes on the Red Planet! The rotorcraft reached this milestone after its 17th flight. Now, Ingenuity is gearing up to add 125 seconds to that airtime with Flight 18, which is set for no earlier than Dec. 15. http://go.nasa.gov/31T5dUw pic.twitter.com/fBy3v8u0C8

The #MarsHelicopter keeps going, going, going! Ingenuity successfully completed its 18th flight, adding 124.3 seconds to its overall time aloft on the Red Planet. It flew 754 feet (230 meters) at a speed of 5.6 mph (2.5 m/sec) & took images along the way. http://go.nasa.gov/2U43zuH pic.twitter.com/XVeMNGGOnQ
