The images that excite the viewers give scientists hope. This is because the images will help them understand how the vehicle handles the landing and inspire a variety of improvements. The images that excite the viewers give scientists hope.
The footage was taken from a height of 8 meters
NASA posted images taken today on its Twitter account of the Ingenuity helicopter, part of the Perseverance rover. These images show the remains of the parachute used to land the rover on Mars.

On the landing in February 2021, a soft landing parachute hit the surface of Mars at a speed of about 125 kilometers per hour. It was also reported that parts of the parachute were intact. These images could be an important source of insight for future missions by NASA officials.
According to the information, the images were taken from a height of about 8 meters above the ground. According to NASA, Ingenuity flew for 159 seconds. During this time, he traveled 360 meters and took 10 photos. The rover, manufactured at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, is powered by plutonium fuel. The vehicle landed on Mars on February 18, 2021, following its launch on July 30, 2022.
Perseverance is the most advanced of the vehicles to ship to Mars. It is known that $2.4 billion was spent on infrastructure work on the vehicle and $300 million for the system that enabled it to operate and land on the surface to make new missions on the Red Planet take place.
