Ingenuity's sixth flight was planned as one of its most daring excursions to date, programmed to travel over 700 feet in total and take aerial photos of Mars. ....
28 MAY 2021 During its sixth flight on the red planet, the Ingenuity helicopter experienced a little mishap - but, thanks to planning and built-in failsafes, it survived to fly another day.
This is actually great news, because it demonstrates the multiple ways in which the vehicle is robust to errors - as well as giving engineers here at home an opportunity to patch them. The event took place on 22 May 2021 - the 91st Martian day of the Perseverance mission. The sky was clear and bright, perfect for Ingenuity s task: demonstrating its ability to take aerial stereo images. The little helicopter was to vertically ascend to a height of 10 meters (33 feet), then make a horizontal flight of three legs - southwest for 150 meters, at which point it would turn and move 15 meters in a southward direction while taking images, before turning northeast and flying for another 50 meters before landing, all at a speed of about 4 meters per second (8.9 mph). ....
By Bill Galluccio May 28, 2021 The helicopter on NASA s Mars rover Perseverance had a scare during its sixth test flight. The Ingenuity helicopter ran into problems shortly after taking off when a navigation error caused it to lose control while it was 33 feet off the ground. Officials at NASA s Jet Propulsion Laboratory said the issue occurred when a photo taken from an onboard camera failed to register in the craft s navigation system. That caused a chain reaction, as all subsequent images loaded into the system had an inaccurate time stamp. As a result, the helicopter began to tilt back and forth as much as 20 degrees because the navigation systems couldn t identify its location. ....
