O Helicóptero Ingenuity Mars da NASA capturou esta imagem com sua câmera de navegação. Esta câmera é montada na fuselagem do helicóptero e aponta diretamente para baixo para rastrear o solo durante o voo. Esta imagem foi adquirida em 6 de novembro de 2021 (Sol 254 da missão do rover Perseverance) às 12:06:00, hora solar média local. Esta foi a data do 15º voo do Ingenuity. Crédito: NASA/JPL-Caltech

During a portion of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter’s 33rd flight, a small piece of foreign object debris (FOD) was seen in footage (see video below) from the Mars helicopter’s navigation camera (Navcam).

This foreign object debris was not visible in Navcam footage from the previous flight (32). The FOD is seen in Flight 33 Navcam imagery from the earliest frames to around halfway through the video, when it fell from the leg and drifted back to the Mars surface. All telemetry from the flight and a post-flight search and transfer are nominal and show no indication of vehicle damage. The Ingenuity and Perseverance Mars 2020 teams are currently working to determine the source of the debris.
