NASA finds Ingenuity after losing contact with the Mars helicopter

I’m still not over the fact that there’s a freakin helicopter on Mars. Like it’s the last thing I ever expected.

Have you heard of Dragonfly? It’s a thousand pound, nuclear powered drone that’ll fly around Titan. Ingenuity has been a great first step (hop?) with these rotorcraft, and I’m really looking forward to seeing what else comes next.

Wow cool! Could use some paint though.

What is their source for this information? I can’t find anything and they’re not sourcing it.

Good news today: We’ve reestablished contact with the #MarsHelicopter after instructing @NASAPersevere 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. ?
