Ingenuity's Navcam Reveals a Missing Rotor Blade
NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter used its black-and-white navigation camera to capture this video showing the shadows of its rotor blades turning on Feb. 11, 2024. Engineers planned the video to get more information about damage that was sustained by the rotor blades after a rough landing occurred during the helicopter's 72nd flight on Jan. 18, 2024. This video shows that Ingenuity's upper rotor, the first rotor seen in this video, has a rotor blade missing. The blade appears to have separated near the mast.
