RIP Mars Ingenuity, The 'Little Helicopter That Could'
Popular Science
1/26/24 https://www.popsci.com/science/rip-i...rs-helicopter/ According to NASA’s final tally, Ingenuity lived up to its name for nearly 1,000 Martian days—around 33 times longer than anticipated. During its tenure, the rotocopter received a software update beamed through space that allowed it to autonomously select the best landing sites, weathered destructive dust storms, contended with a dead sensor, and lived through Martian winter temperatures as low as -112 degrees Fahrenheit. .
