@mars_stu on Xitter, spotted #Ingenuity at its new landing 53, about 3 hours ago. Meaning, it's possible that the #MarsHelicopter had already flown #Flight53 when #Perseverance arrived at its RMC 42.1460 location on Sol 868, and that's why it didn't show up in the NAVCAM images.

New location of #Ingenuity after its #Flight53. No HELI_NAV images have been downlinked yet, so this is just a rough estimate of the landing spot; we also no not know when the flight occurred. More to come.

The map also shows the FOV of the image in the previous post.
