"NASA has now announced that it has lost contact with the (Mars) helicopter, though it’s unclear how serious this problem is." "NASA lost communication with the helicopter in the summer of last year, so it may be that communications with the helicopter can be re-established. It’s also possible that the Perseverance rover, which is nearby but currently out of sight of the helicopter, could drive over to perform a visual inspection to find out more about the helicopter’s status."

It’s pretty amazing that a four pound heli-lander can fly in a 10 bar atmosphere as as compared to 1013 bar atmosphere of Earth.

Yeah but they lose radio comms when he’s wandering off stage......

Well to be honest, that helicopter was way overdue for an annual.

Ingenuity has been a spectacular success. Now that they’ve proven the concept, they should do a follow-up mission, this time with a video camera mounted on the helicopter.
