The Ingenuity helicopter, which has been fluttering around the red planet for almost three years now, fell out of contact with Perseverance, the rover that brought it to the planet (and that it communicates with using Zigbee!). NASA wrote yesterday that the flight, its 72nd, was a test of its systems after it was forced to land it early during its previous flight. The agency is working toward reestablishing contact. While we wait, here’s a recent video of the helicopter in action.

    I believe they took this into account when they designed the thing.

      Absolutely, but until you fly a heli on Mars you don’t know 100% if it will work.
