Good morning my RP Brothers and Sisters... For those of you interested in the Perseverance ROver and the Helicopter, Ingenuity, The Helo has been maneuvered to an upright position with two of the four legs of Ingenuity fully down... Two more steps (Unlocking of two landing legs and deployment of Ingenuity) and the Helo will be on its helipad..., which, I believe, will be on April 1st or 2nd... ( I just don't know about April Fool's Day! LOL!)
There is a 30 day planned sequence of flight times none of which are very long... It is the first one that is crucial, just to see it's capability of flying on Mars in such a thin atmosphere! We are almost there folks!
Enjoy!
Kerry
