I believe we can now reconstruct the last moments of 's 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.

It appears as if wants to change route away from the riverbank edge and tries to find a clear path for its journey to Jezero's rim, in which case the Bright Angel target may have been abandoned.

The green dashed line shows a possible route, after tosol's new drive to RMC 51.4692. The new path (double white stitch) is a guess.

may be marginally visible again, but will disappear for a long time if the green route is to be followed.

's location is indeed visible, especially the western side of the ripple where apparently it first touched down, though the helicopter itself is too small to be discernible in a NAVCAM image.
