The First Helicopter Crash on Mars: NASA Pinpoints What Went Wrong During Ingenuity’s Final Flight
Ingenuity ultimately operated for nearly three years and performed 72 flights over that span. On its final flight, the helicopter climbed to 40 feet (12 meters) above the Martian surface, but after 32 seconds, the chopper was back on the ground and communications had stopped.
After crashing on Mars, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter could live on as a weather station for 20 years
Ingenuity may never fly above the surface of Mars again, but the downed helicopter is otherwise healthy and could serve as a weather station for decades, JPL says.
