英吉利受損旋翼的陰影
The Shadow of Ingenuity's Damaged Rotor Blade

2024 年 1 月 18 日,在稀薄的火星大氣層中進行的第 72 次飛行中,自主火星直升機Ingenuity 上升到 12 米( 40 英尺)的高度,並在紅色星球上空盤旋了 4 . 5 秒。 不過,Ingenuity 的第 72 次著陸並不順利。在下降過程中,它與 "毅力 "漫遊車在火星表面上方約 1 米處失去了聯絡。在重新建立聯絡後,"智慧 "號傳輸了這張影像,顯示了它的一個轉子葉片的陰影,很可能是在著陸過程中損壞的。就這樣,在超過 1000 天的火星探索中,創造歷史的 "智慧號 "以超出預期的速度結束了它的飛行任務。 2021 年 4 月 19 日,暱稱為 "Ginny "的 "Ingenuity "火星直升機成為了第一架在另一個星球上實現有動力、可控飛行的飛機。在發射前,一小塊來自萊特兄弟飛行者 1 號(第一架在地球上實現有動力、可控飛行的飛機)左下方機翼的材料被固定在Ingenuity 的太陽能電池板下方。
原文:On January 18, 2024, during its 72nd flight in the thin Martian atmosphere, autonomous Mars Helicopter Ingenuity rose to an altitude of 12 meters (40 feet) and hovered for 4.5 seconds above the Red Planet. Ingenuity's 72nd landing was a rough one though. During descent it lost contact with the Perseverance rover about 1 meter above the Martian surface. Ingenuity was able to transmit this image after contact was re-established, showing the shadow of one of its rotor blades likely damaged during landing. And so, after wildly exceeding expectations during over 1,000 days of exploring Mars, the history-making Ingenuity has ended its flight operations. Nicknamed Ginny, Mars Helicopter Ingenuity became the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on another planet on April 19, 2021. Before launch, a small piece of material from the lower-left wing of the Wright Brothers Flyer 1, the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on planet Earth, was fixed to the underside of Ingenuity's solar panel.
