Ingenuity's Sensor Has Stopped Working.
We have been following with excitement as Ingenuity, the small helicopter that accompanied NASA’s Perseverance rover to Mars, landed in the Red Planet’s Jezero Crater in February 2021. Ingenuity has far-exceeded design expectations, adding 28 flights under its belt and beaming back to Earth crucial data for the exploration of the Red Planet.

However, the chopper has come across an issue: it has a dead sensor.
Over the past several days on Mars, the Ingenuity team has been busy getting the helicopter ready for flight, going through a series of activities that include preflight checkout of sensors and actuators and a high-speed spin of the rotor.
These activities have revealed that one of the helicopter’s navigation sensors, called the inclinometer, has stopped functioning. A nonworking navigation sensor sounds like a big deal – and absolutely it is – but it’s not necessarily an end to our flying at Mars.
