NASA re-establishes contact with Mars Ingenuity Helicopter

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter successfully completed its 52nd flight, despite a temporary communication failure during landing. The Perseverance rover, acting as a radio relay, lost contact with Ingenuity as it descended towards the Martian surface. However, communication was re-established when the rover returned to a closer range. The flight was designed to reposition the helicopter and capture images of the Martian terrain for the rover's research team. The Ingenuity team is now awaiting the results of the helicopter's health exams to determine if it can take to the skies again in a few weeks.
