End of Mission

One year ago on this day, Perseverance lost her little flying companion Ingenuity to the dunes of Valinor Hills.

Ingenuity at 'Valinor Hills' - NASA Science

This natural-color mosaic showing NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter at “Valinor Hills” was acquired by the agency’s Perseverance Mars rover on Feb. 21, 2024, the 1,068th Martian day, or sol, of the mission.

Very dusty yet beautiful: Valinor Hills, where Ingenuity has fallen, captured by Perseverance's Mastcam Zoom camera, from her vantage viewpoint on the slopes of the crater rim.

More images from the SuperCam mosaic have arrived.
The suspected detached blade can now be clearly identified. It's a bit left of the center of this image behind the sand ripple Ingenuity is sitting on.

Earlier today, the Perseverance rover captured a high resolution image of the Ingenuity using the SuperCam RMI instrument.
One rotor blade is broken off completely, the others have damaged tips.
