dexterity hhelicopter landing suspended from the most difficult Flight so far, ninth plane. The helicopter takes up residence at high speed over rough terrain.
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory announcedncEDTSuccessful trip this morning at tweet. Tpilot helicopter, harvard follicle, The chief engineer, Bob Balaram, has previously described them they Intention to incoming flights A NASA Blog Post. in their post, that they He pointed out that Ingenuity’s ninth flight would break his current speed, Broadcast distance and time notes. Even though we are not satisfied Details about This is the newest one FlightGreeb and Balaram said planes would be instructed to fly above 2.05.0 feet (625 meters) at 16 feet (5 meters) per second And that the whole trip will take about three minutes.
Since the persistent rover began its scientific exploration last month, Ingenuity has remained close to its terrestrial counterpart. Not this time. Perseverance sits on the eastern edge of Mars’ rugged expanse called Séítah, or “middle of the sand” in Diné Bizaad, Navajo. Séítah features undulating sand that NASA scientists think will be challenging to wheeled vehicle pass through. This makes the area ideal for this episode of Ingenuity’s growth, as the helicopter is forced to venture far beyond the rover. He brought it 183 million miles from Earth. Flying through dunes has demonstrated the usefulness of aerial vehicles on Mars and beyond, and this is already a point definitively proven In the first five flights of the aircraft. The ninth flight also challenges Ingenuity’s navigation algorithm, which is really designed to read the red planet’s flat terrain, not Séítah’s undulating sand.

some black-And-White image of helicopter released from Ninth flight, but still new Colorful images of Al-Sita’s rocks and ripples, through which creativity has passed. It is possible that the aircraft did not maintain a constant speed throughout its journey; Due to uncertainty about how Ingenuity’s navigation system interprets Setah’s choppy terrain, the team instructed the vehicle to fly slower through the rough terrain of the region.

Grip and Balaram said in their blog that this ninth flight was the most nerve-wracking since the helicopter’s maiden voyage on the Red Planet. Though they’ve yet to publish all the data from the flight, one thing is certain: The flight was a success, and we’ve yet to hit the limits of this record-breaking rotorcraft.
