A Martian Ingenuity drone with a fragment of mystery. NASA doesn’t know what it is

People are very interested in Mars and more and more research missions are sent to the Red Planet. One of the more intriguing devices exploring the fourth planet from the sun is a flying drone called Ingenuity, which actually happened to something unexpected.

Ingenuity has been flying in the Martian atmosphere for a long time. The extremely important role of the machine is to ensure that the flying drones can run smoothly Mars and more such devices may be shipped there in the future.

The alien fragment has attached itself to Ingenuity

The Ingenuity drone made its 33rd flight and landed safelybut the staff NASA they noticed a detail of the recording. It turned out that An unidentified fragment was attached to the leg of a Martian helicopter.

All in-flight and post-flight telemetry parameters are normal and show no signs of damage to the drone. Ingenuity and Perseverance Mars 2020 teams are working to identify the cause of this fragment.

NASA’s official statement on the incident indicates that the presence of the mysterious fragment surprised scientists, but the operation of the flying drone is not at risk. This is a good time to point out that Ingenuity made history with the first controlled flight of its kind in the atmosphere of Mars. As if that weren’t enough, the device was initially only supposed to go up five times, but it surpassed standard assumptions and took far more flights, or several dozen.

An unidentified fragment attached to the leg of a helicopter arouses the curiosity of many people, but it must be emphasized that the very fact of flying autonomously in the atmosphere of an alien planet is something very intriguing. This experimental mission was very successful and is now open for research Jezero Craterwhere a lake could have been tens of billions of years ago.
