Ingenuity Mars helicopter was damaged during its 72nd flight and with the Perseverance's Supercam capturing the splitting of the blade in half on Feb 25, 2024. Showcased the intense impact experienced of the helicopter. Rover's component strength and durability under real Martian conditions have been tested.
The challenging Martian atmosphere, known for strong winds and dust storms, likely contributed to the damage, with wind gusts on Mars reaching up to 60 miles per hour posing a significant threat to delicate equipment like helicopter blades.
Data from Perseverance rover's instruments, including the Supercam, suggests rough winds may have played a role in the hard landing and blade damage registered on Perseverance's camera on February 25, 2024. Additionally, mine 4K renders were included in the video to visualize the impact of damaging winds on the Mars helicopter.
