After losing contact with its helicopter, NASA put the entire Mars mission on hold

There hasn't been anything of great interest occurring on Mars over the last month or more, and as the Martian winter evolves into the dead of its winter, the Perseverance Rover and the Ingenuity Helicopter are battling to stay warm in a cold and hostile environment... The tiny Ingenuity has flown some 28 flights and here are some points to note:

As of April 29, 2022, it has made 28 successful flights. Ingenuity's 25th successful flight, which occurred on April 8, 2022, saw the helicopter set new records for highest speed and distance traveled during a single flight.
Flight time: Up to 167 seconds per flight
Originally planned operational time: 1 to 5 flights ...
Maximum range, flight: 704 m (2,310 ft)
Maximum possible speed: : Horizontal: 10 m/s ...

Temperatures:
Temperatures on Mars average about -81 degrees F. However, temperatures range from around -220 degrees F. in the wintertime at the poles, to +70 degrees F.

More details are included in the included Report... Is it the end for Ingenuity? You be the judge...
