Ingenuity takes flight for the 11th time on Mars! See the 1st pics

Part Two (2)

In Part Two, Ingenuity takes flight for the 11th time on Mars and shows the 1st pics of the Helicopter moving across the ground as taken by its onboard navigation camera... The compact camera takes individual images and transmits those to Percy and Percy uploads those to NASA's Earth stations and from there they are processed... This is the simplest and quickest means to get the imaging to the Earth based stations as the file sizes on actual video would be too high for quick transmission... (I have simplified the process for easy understanding of the fundamentals.)

Here is the Video description as provided by "VIdeoFromSpace", who has 1.5 million subscribers:

I hope the combination of Part One (1) and Part Two (2) help piece it together a little better.
Enjoy!
