#Ingenuity managed to move its blades more this time, on Sol 1055. The team wants to assess the damage it suffered after the eventful #Flight72 that brought an end to its flying on Mars.

It's probably missing a good chunk of it, and/or its shadow is still covered by the shadow of the solar panel.
We could probably see the blades better late in the afternoon, when the shadow will have shifted to the right. This was Sol 1055 but it only arrived today, so maybe they have tried different tests in more recent sols.

We need a late afternoon try, but I bet that's difficult to arrange with Perseverance's team; they usually have other activities planned for that time frame.
