#Ingenuity had a chance to glance inside Belva Crater at the end of #Flight50, just before landing. The RTE images showing the area may prove valuable for the team to plan its route through the rugged terrain.

The animation shows my guess for approaching that area. Processing of the RTE image is unfortunately rather poor.

Same image, with James Sorenson's (@thedudeabidez88) excellent processing, cropped, and brought to my taste of colors.

So tempting to just take a little detour down that gentle incline from Belva Overlook down into the crater.

Percy has worked so hard getting this far up the delta, surely she deserves a little R&R time by the beach?!

Oh yeah. She may also be able to get rid of those little pest rocks riding in her wheels. 😜

Oooh. Maybe the Belva Bottom Resort offers pedicures. 😃

Looks like we've found another place to open business in Jezero: Belva Overlook 🙂

👍 Yes, and there are already helicopter tours happening there.

And think of the awesome water slide possibilities, down to the bottom! 🤔

Belva's bottom is a spectacle, no doubt 😎 .
