"[...] the helicopter executed the first half of its autonomous journey, flying north at an altitude of 16 feet (5 meters) for 466 feet (142 meters). Then a flight-contingency program was triggered, and Ingenuity automatically landed." #LAND_NOW
@65dBnoise oh wow fascinating article! I didn't expect them to fly such a complicated low altitude flightpath with Ingenuity, I would have loved to see those images!
Also interesting that the image delay failure happened again, I had hoped they fixed that for good.
@PaulHammond51@65dBnoise yeah this picture could be stitched much better. I'm guessing that stitching is purely relying on the pointing information from Mastcam without any image based alignment.
@EricFielding
It's so satisfying to see a good technical explanation. The actual cause of frame loss that triggered the LAND_NOW program is still being investigated.
