In case you missed it, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter on Mars is "no longer capable of flight." After a flight on January 18, Ingenuity sent images back to Earth showing damage to "one or more" of the rotor blades making additional flights impossible.

Ingenuity, the Mars helicopter that has been taking flights from the Red Planet since February 2021, was grounded last week because of weather.
When you wonder what the weather is going to be like in the next few days, you turn on the WDRB Weather report. But have you ever wondered what the weather is like right no on Mars? Well wonder no more!
After a couple of delays last week, the Mars Helicopter is scheduled to attempt its first flight Monday morning!
The new Mars Perseverance rover is scheduled to launch from Cape Canaveral tomorrow, and it's taking a helicopter to hopefully accomplish the first powered flight on another planet.
