Here is an unprocessed, bare-bones, automatically generated animation of #Ingenuity's #Flight55 landing.

#Ingenuity doesn't just fly for fun; it regularly scouts for #Perseverance, and #Flight55 apparently did just that.

The image and map below show a possible path the rover may take, based on the route presented in the #MEPAG40 meeting. More in the alt text.

The #MarsHelicopter had not flown #Flight55 yet, at noon of Sol 880; that was yesterday on Earth. At present, Aug 12 13:50 GMT Terran time, it is 03:04 of Sol 881 in Jezero, Mars.

#Ingenuity's #Flight55 was announced on Exitter on Aug 9, but not on any other #NASA site. It will cover a distance of 250m, presumably to somewhere west of its current location.

Here is my previous guess, now adjusted to the new distance; it goes along a (guessed too) route #Perseverance may take toward Mandu Wall.
