While #MarsHelicopter Ingenuity is learning how to fly with a broken Inclinometer, Mars Rover Perseverance has been been busy roaming the "bacon strip" area near the Delta region, looking for interesting rocks. Hopefully, it will find one worthy of a rock core collection soon.

This is the current location of Perseverance, right on top of the "bacon strip". Percy is probably hesitant to climb up the delta until Ingenuity moves to a better location, since Ingenuity needs Percy to communicate with earth.

Update on #MarsHelicopter Ingenuity. As the heaters and electronics have been shut off at night to conserve power, one of the navigation sensors, called the inclinometer, has stopped functioning. But the team will still be able to fly it soon using some spare accelerometers.

The inclinometer's two accelerometers measure gravity prior to spin-up and takeoff; the direction of the sensed gravity is used to determine Ingenuity's orientation. NASA scientists had created a backup method to generate this data before Perseverance landed on Mars!

The Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) contains accelerometers which can provide similar but less accurate data. The new software, already being uploaded, will in real-time patch this data in place of the data from the Inclinometer.

#WelcomeBack After 1 year, both @NASAPersevere & #MarsHelicopter are both back where it all started - #OctaviaButler landing site, or very close
In honor of these two, I have put together several versions of what I am calling #WelcomeBack #VR180 and #3D videos w. #AmbiX audio...

... Using the @UnrealEngine ver #UE5 ( #github main build 2/15) I came up with a new workflow to capt. #VR360 and #VR180, as well as st. #3D images using #RenderQueue at < 1 sec per rendered frame. Still a few glitches, like motion blur, but overall good

Lors de son 6e vol, l'hĂ©licoptĂšre Ingenuity a survĂ©cu Ă une anomalie đ± AprĂšs 54 s d'un vol nominal, il s'est mis Ă osciller dangereusement mais a rĂ©ussi Ă se poser Ă 5 m de la zone prĂ©vue. Que s'est-il passĂ© ? Thread 1/.. #MarsHelicopter đ
Ce 6e vol avait pour objectif d'étendre la zone d'action de Ingenuity et de démontrer sa capacité à prendre des photos stéréo d'une zone intéressante située à l'ouest. 2/..
Plan de vol : monter à 10 m, se déplacer de 150 m vers le SO à 14 km/h, de 15 m vers le S en prenant des photos vers l'ouest, de 50 m vers le NE puis atterrissage.

Congratulations to the Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter team on the first powered flight on another planet!
How far could robotic rotorcraft like Ingenuity take us in space exploration? Far. Very far.
Letâs talk about titans and dragonflies. 1/4

Saturnâs moon Titan is bigger than Mercury! With a soupy atmosphere thicker than Earth's and only 1/7th the gravity, itâs the perfect place to explore with a flying rover. 2/4
The surface is loaded with enigmatic features like dunes of weird carbonaceous material and mountains of ice-rock. It even has boulders and pebbles created by liquid methane, as seen in this image from @esa's Huygens probe that landed on Titan. 3/4
