REST IN PEACE mighty bird. thank you for your hard work.

Rest easy Ingenuity. You far exceeded all expectations.

Future hover craft designs should consider a shroud around the blades to protect them. Also, the number of legs should be changed to either 3 or 5. An odd number of legs is preferable and tends to be more stable on landing. When a leg lands touches down on a protruding object, the craft "rotates" and can subsequently land on two legs. One can imagine how touching down on uneven terrain could end up in a tilted landing that could easily damage the rotator blades. We'll learn. But congratulations go to the Ingenuity Team. Kudos to you all!

NO NOW PERSEVERANCE HAS NO ONE TO TAKE SELFIES WITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!😭

It did very well! The engineers should be very proud!

As a UAV (drone) pilot, I can confirm several things about what seemed to have happened to Ingenuity. My UAVs also use a visual camera-based system to help with navigation & obstacle avoidance, & have both a color camera, & a number of lower-resolution black & white cameras, although they also have the benefit of having access to dozens of GPS satellites to aid in control & positioning when farther away from any objects - On Mars, no GPS satellites, or magnetic compass... Relatively featureless surfaces can & will cause confusion with the internal control system, as a result of conflicts between the IMU & what the camera sees, & this can & will likely cause stability & control problems. Of course, here on Earth, there is virtually no signal lag, & a human is available to compensate or to take manual control in any situation in real-time - Ingenuity, being so far from Earth, had no such real-time human control available due to the many minutes of signal lag between Mars, Earth, & back to Mars, & had to rely upon its own internal control systems; as advanced as they are, simply can't compare with a human at direct real-time control. Carbon-fiber composite propeller or rotor blades are incredibly strong for their light weight, but they are also very brittle, & likely even more so, in Mars' relatively colder temperatures, & at the speed of rotation that Ingenuity's rotors had to turn to fly, having them strike anything at all, even for an instant, would result in the damage indicated. Here on Earth, damaged propeller or rotor blades are easily & quickly replaced, but so far away on Mars... not so much! I'm so sorry to hear of Ingenuity's accident, & I've been cheering with every flight & scientific breakthrough accomplishment on Mars! Ingenuity went far above & beyond what was ever designed or expected - certainly a long string of successes which all of us can honor & celebrate! \o/

good work.... my friend

If we eer get there , and establish a colon thats anle to sustain itself , the "Dirigible" would be the best form of air transport , unless we develope different tech , and power sources to use .

May lord be with you

Why was the signal from the helicopter interupted and/or weak due to damaged rotorblades?

if it was a hard landing it could have shaken loose or damaged some of the internal components like the transmitter. for example it could have disconnected or damaged the transmitting antenna wich would dramatically shorten range and make the signal unstable

"All good this must come to an end "

Could not the laser on the rover "trim" the broken tip and do the same to its counter blade to balance?

Not just blade like yes it was damaged and has a chewed up bit but the fall to the ground damaged the internals hence the weak signal it has now to the rover.

How do you know it was just the tip ?

2:22 - "It continued to fly for more than nine months" - More like two years and nine months...

Interesting

No images of the damage. Pity.

I know how to recover the drone no need about the drone
