L’hélicoptère Creative Mars Helicopter de la NASA a capturé cette image à l’aide de sa caméra de navigation. Cette caméra est montée dans le fuselage de l’hélicoptère et dirigée vers le bas pour suivre le sol en vol. Cette image a été acquise le 6 novembre 2021 (SOL 254 de la mission Perseverance Rover) à 12:06:00 heure solaire locale moyenne. C’était la date du quinzième vol d’Ingenuity.

During a portion of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter’s 33rd flight, a small piece of foreign object debris (FOD) was seen in footage (see video below) from the Mars helicopter’s navigation camera (Navcam).
This foreign object debris was not visible in Navcam footage from the previous flight (32). The FOD is seen in Flight 33 Navcam imagery from the earliest frames to around halfway through the video, when it fell from the leg and drifted back to the Mars surface. All telemetry from the flight and a post-flight search and transfer are nominal and show no indication of vehicle damage. The Ingenuity and Perseverance Mars 2020 teams are currently working to determine the source of the debris.
