Temporarily, NASA grounds the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter

There has been a grounding of the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter due to the winter and dust season on Mars.

As it is winter and dust season on Mars, the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter is unable to recharge due to more dust in the air and less sunlight. Because of this, NASA teams have decided to give the helicopter a few weeks to allow its batteries to recharge again on a daily basis.

Ingenuity is expected to return to the air around the beginning of August after dust levels subside in July.

A small solar-powered helicopter called Ingenuity landed on Mars on February 18, 2021. It was the first powered extraterrestrial flight that took place on April 19, 2021, after landing with the Perseverance Rover.

This year, NASA released dramatic footage of the helicopter completing its record-breaking 25th flight, which covered a distance of 704 meters at 5.5 meters per second while completing the flight.

Before NASA released the video in May, it announced that it had lost contact with Ingenuity when the Mars helicopter entered a low-power state. After charging its six lithium-ion batteries with sufficient energy from its dollar array, it was able to reconnect a little later.

An inclinometer, one of the helicopter’s sensors, had stopped working during a preflight inspection in June.

Ingenuity's non-working sensor consists of two accelerometers that are solely responsible for determining how Ingenuity is oriented in relation to its direction before spinning up and taking off.

Scientists had to devise a new way to initialize the navigation algorithms without the inclinometer, which is not used during the flight itself.

Despite this, mission engineers were able to help Ingenuity resume flying by using data from other accelerometers because Ingenuity has redundancies built into it.
