That’s impressive how resilient it is, with no human intervention.
Keep trucking little copter! I know several of the engineers who developed that thing. Really smart engineers who absolutely deserve to take a victory lap
Lemmy AMA when?
Lol I can do a Lemmy AMA if people really want to hear about developing spacecraft. Should note most of my friends at JPL are people I went to college with - I only worked there as an intern
yes please!
I know, it’s amazing! Keep on keeping it on Ingenuity!
Great news!
It’s impressive how well these work after so much abuse
The return on investment on NASA creating anything is huge. Opportunity was planned as a 90 day operation, it lasted 14 years 11 months.
“ The loss of communications was expected, because a hill stood between Ingenuity and Perseverance, which acts as a relay between the drone and Earth.”
I assume this means the hill moved? How did they reestablish contact?
https://www.space.com/mars-helicopter-ingenuity-breaks-63-day-silence “ All communications to and from Ingenuity must be routed through Perseverance. That explains the recent silent spell, which the two mission teams had expected: The rover had disappeared behind a hill from the helicopter’s perspective, and it didn’t come back into view until June 28.”
The rover Ingenuity moved
That is a much more sensible explanation, although mine offers a lot more opportunities for a sci-fi horror flick
