Badly busted chopper
Oof, not the image we were hoping to see. The groundbreaking Mars mission is over, but Ingenuity, with at least one of four rotor blades completely missing, is in worse shape than we imagined. On February 26, the Perseverance rover used its SuperCam Remote Micro-Imager (RMI) to capture an image of its damaged counterpart. Visual artist Simeon Schmauss then processed this image to enhance its clarity and adjust it to resemble how it would appear to the human eye. “One rotor blade is broken off completely, the others have damaged tips,” Schnauss said on X.
