It was already incredible enough that it was the first thing mankind has made that flew above the surface of Mars. But what was also remarkable was the fact that it managed to fly so many times.
Would be a good idea for scientific reasons as well. If they can get high res images of the blades, they may learn more about what happened and help design the next one even better!
@@briannewcombe1045 Stuck "on" the helicopter? lol Obviously they wouldn't get THAT close. But as it turns out, Ingenuity is in the middle of sand ripples, which is a death trap for rovers. So there's no chance Perseverance would drive over there.

😢 Rest in peace Ingenuity! Thank you for proving flight is possible on mars! Thank you Nasa and JPL for your all your hard work! Cant wait for the next Copter on Mars!.
What an achievement. When NASA builds a rover device, they always over-build and they last well beyond predicted expectations. But in this case the engineering was so good it was God-like and very, very impressive...
Ingenuity exceeded it's lifespan by a huge amouunt of time and 72 flights. This information and experience will open up many doors for future powered flight on other planets and/or moons (Titan for one), and even in remote areas on Earth.
It's not dead. They will not fly it with the damaged rotor, but the communications, cameras, sensors, etc., are all still functional, and the batteries will recharge without the drain of powered flight... So it has become a little outpost station on the surface.
It must also relay it's communication threw the rover because it doesn't have a high gain antenna to send long range messages on it's own, so it may eventually be out or range, if the solar panel doesn't get covered in dust first, though we shall see
my first and only tattoo that I got almost two years ago is of perseverance and ingenuity, a reminder during the pandemic and amid several severe depressive episodes to keep going ingenuity, may your memory be a blessing
I wonder if Ingenuity could still do little hops, maybe a foot or so high and work it's way to a vantage point on a hill where it would set down and wait for that eventual day when it will be collected by a recovery crew (human or otherwise). Then be placed in a Martian museum for exceptional droid emissaries, including MER- Spirit. Regardless, tonight I shall raise a silent toast to it and tell it "Well done, little one. Well done."
Thank you to the JPL engineers/workers that made this possible. And, also to those at NASA that worked so hard to keep this little miracle communicating with us on Earth.
How sad. It was cute to see Ingenuity flying over Mars. And as Mr. Nelson said, we learned a lot from this little helicopter that defied everything to fly and add to our knowledge of Mars.
Pretty sure they're on their way, I really wouldn't be surprised if any new rover similar to Perseverance being sent to Mars will always carry a helicopter scout by default to assist the rover operations...
Caltech made a great job. It was a great accomplishment. Congratulations to all. 72 flights was further than the 5 ones expected. Thank you Mr Nelson for your information.
Considering that the original intentions were to make only 5 flights and last for 30 Martian days, NASA in general and all those who collaborated in the construction of that small helicopter drone have truly outdone themselves.
I have to say NASA did such great job with this helicopter on mars and j pl staff that made this possible this had never been tried before NASA learned many lessons here we should continue with this
Thank you and NASA team for your incredible engineering, vision, and determination. One time I remember somebody saying: “We don’t do things because they’re easy to do. We do things because they’re hard to do.”
Even if its rotor is broken, it should try to fly again. Even if it's a death flight... If you want to keep it intact for a future museum, I would respect that too.
If a Boing can fly without a door plug, Ingenuity can still fly with a few scratches and dents. A damaged blade will vibrate, but it will still fly. If the opposite side blade was also damaged, it may offset the vibration. It's not Earth gravity, its Mars. Something tells me that they will give it another try after a few strategy meetings.
So, one of the blades touched the ground. Is it confirmed? These blades rotated at very high speeds, perhaps dust particles or grains of Martian sand could also degrade those blades and damage them. It's seen quite often at wind turbines at earth that they get damaged over time, and they almost don't even rotate compared to Ingenuity.
Truly a remarkable mission.I was skeptical about that how could it produce enough lift in a low dense atmosphere,but it proved me wrong.72 flights is the return for what we have expected for only 5 flights.Hats off and a happy farewell Ingen🎉🎉🎉
I guess there's vibration when the rotor spins. Maybe we can include a mechanism to partially retract the opposite rotor blade to achieve balance ... next time. It's been a brilliant engineering achievement.
Back in the 60s my dad did electrical wiring at the Johnson Space Center during his vacation from Dow. Part of his paycheck paid for my first year of college. Before NASA recalled the prototypes of the Mercury capsules, I used to play in one that had been rejected from T.J. Bettis company of Oyster Creek. And back when those Mercury capsules used to pass overhead, I would listen to them talk to the folks in Clear Lake on an AM radio I had "under" tuned. So exciting these days with the internet. We can keep up almost real time. NASA should do more to advertise their projects. And get yourself a UA-cam channel . . . America is hungry to love you like we did in the Sixties 💕
It really was a miracle to be able to fly on Mars. Now we know it's possible and this has paved the way for a whole new generation of Martian aircraft that will revolutionize the exploration of Mars and other thin-atmosphere planets! This feat was American, I recognize... But the person who invented the plane was the Brazilian Santos Dumont! Just for the record!
@@bakedbeans3181 The Wright brothers' device was catapulted and had no engine! Being unable to self-propel and travel long distances, it was nothing more than a mere glider! Santos Dumont's device had an engine, being self-sufficient to move like a real airplane should be!
