Perseverance Mastcam-Z videos of Ingenuity's 54th Flight on Mars
(www.youtube.com)
Just sharing the passion :)
MSR is expected to have up to 2 Ingenuity class helicopters. Each will be equipped with small wheels on each landing leg (for driving up to sample tubes) and have a small robotic arm (to pick up sample tubes)

Processed by James Sorenson. High on the list of my favourites mission images (so far) Distance 57.3 meters. We're still waiting for the movie frames the rover captured during flight 54, those movies will be rather special :)

This is a very roughly processed image from the helicopter's 54 flight, a test to reset it's localization data after having issues on the 53rd fight.

I've had times when I felt I was shouting in the dark on a number of different platforms over the years, but those community don't last long as they usually grow. The Mars communities here on Lemmy have grown nicely since I came over here from Reddit. I'm sort of paying it forward for all those that preceded me that gave me joy in the late 50's and 60's when I was young developing space nerd. I simply gather the data / images to satisfy my own curiosity. Sharing it with a few like minded souls, is only but a few clicks in this digital age :)
