The helicopter was built for five flights
Officials at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory wrote that all telemetry during flight and post-flight search and transfer is trivial. It does not show any damage to the helicopter in any way. The Ingenuity and Perseverance Mars 2020 teams are working to understand the source of the debris. Ingenuity is now flying well with extended missions. This drone was the first to go to Mars and was prepared for five flights.
A rover in search of life
NASA’s Perseverance rover is searching for samples of life on Mars. Scientists want to know if there was life on Mars in ancient times. Through that they will also be able to know whether there is a possibility of life here or not. Meanwhile the Ingenuity helicopter is acting as a test scout for the Perseverance.
