The videos of NASA's Ingenuity Remote Control Helicopter (from Earth to Mars & Back) has taken some 26 flights to date, when it was only scheduled to do 5 flights! This 26th Flight took it to the Wreckage of its entry-capsule carrier and crumpled parachute and the video based on actual NASA camera black and white and full color image shots via Ingenuity are very impressive indeed!!!
It is a relatively short video, but impressively compiled into a great narrated story! I believe you will all find this worthy of watching, and I am sure that students will get a great deal out of this as well...
Enjoy,
Kerry

Given the tremendous distance between Mars and the Earth, this is truly amazing as you so stated, Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen! Remote Control wizardry between planets and pretty darn accurate!!! What amazes me more is that this was a concept test with only 5 flights maximum and NASA has done 26 flights!!! The second helicopter to be sent up, (whenever that is) should be mind blowing!!! LOL!

Actually, CPL Douglas Chrysler, the parachute and entry device was designed to only do its main job of carrying the Perseverance Rover and its Helicopter, Ingenuity, safely to the Martian Surface and it completed its task perfectly... Taking photos of the residual delivery mechanisms was frosting on the cake for NASA... Of course we now have left some rubbish on the surface! LOL!
