Although creativity continues to break its own record as the first powered and controlled flying machine On other planets, we don’t have He has plenty of visual evidence of his exploits. There is telemetry data NASA scientists receive on Earth, but not as much as photos and videos. Fortunately, NASA now has They released the most detailed shot So far from ingenuity in flight.
both of them The video was taken during the helicopter’s 13th flight, which took place on September 4. The 16-second flight saw Creativity move nearly 700 feet horizontally.And at altitude 26 feesNS. The is SRover Evrance registered Helicopter maneuver using two-camera Mastcam-Z, from about 1,000 feet away.
“The value of Mastcam-Z really shines through in this video,” Justin Mackey, lead research representative for the Mastcam-Z instrument at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, said:and NASA see press. Even at a distance of 300 meters [984 feet] Far away, we got good close-up shots of takeoff and landing with the Mastcam-Z “right eye”. And while the helicopter is nothing more than a dot in a wide view taken through the “left eye,” it gives viewers a good idea of the scale of the environment Ingenuity explores.”
Recently, scientists at NASA had to program intelligence to move slightly faster, to compensate for Mars’ thinner atmosphere as the planet’s seasons change. Automatic helicopter navigation system It uses artificial intelligence to continuously measure and improve environmental variables such as wind speed and the level of the ground beneath it.
“It’s great to see this in reality [automatic correction] At the same time, said Harvard Gripp, President of Intelligence release. “This improves the accuracy of our modeling and our understanding of how to operate creativity better.”
On its thirteenth voyage, Ingenuity has captured 10 images of some of Earth’s interesting rocky outcrops as part of its ongoing exploratory mission to determination. NS perseverance explorer It’s basically rolling Geology (complete withlaboratory)and ingenuity After you are no more Just a tech show, he’s now using his GPS flight sedimentary rock curiosity.
With the end of the conjunction of the sun, and during that The sun has stopped Inter-Earth Communication And Mars, creativity will begin The journey back to the first airport. The road ahead is still long for the train of perseverance, but where Creativity is continuous, it doesn’t need a method.
