We don't yet have RTE images from #Flight43, let alone #Flight44.

Unless Ingenuity was in such a rush to get ahead that no RTE photos were taken, but that would be very unlikely, I'd think.

If #Flight45 occurs before we get the images from #Flight44, then we may have to wait a bit longer until the rover clears the hills obstructing the LOS.

Though, I can't see what is there at that mark that's so interesting geologically, but then again, IANAG™ ̄\_(ツ)_/ ̄

The great distance and the 4m max, 182m long obstruction presented by the ground close to the rover may indicate that #Flight44 may not occur before #Perseverance moves past that obstruction. The drive that may lead the rover to a clearer path appears to be less than 100m toward the N/NW.

With so little information about the short term plans of the #Mars2020 team, all one can do is speculate. Hopefully there is some substance in the above speculation.

#NASA #Ingenuity #MarsHelicopter

the 126m long obstruction had a depth of 1.3m.

There is no data available on radio propagation in UHF frequencies at ground level on Mars; one similar situation might have been encountered in the Apollo missions on the Moon, but it is unknown to me if any radio propagation study was carried out before or after those missions.

Putting the above to work for #Flight44, we see that the distance to a possible #Flight44 landing is around 675m, almost 2x that of #Flight43.
