NASA Concludes Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Mission with Final Communications

The Ingenuity Mars helicopter has completed its mission, transitioning to a stationary weather station and data collector after 72 successful flights.

Ingenuity Mars helicopter's mission ended after surpassing expectations with 72 flights, originally planned for only five.
Final communications with Ingenuity were sent as the Perseverance rover moves away, marking the end of active operations.
Despite no longer flying, Ingenuity will continue to collect data on Martian weather and surface conditions daily.
The data collected will remain stored on Ingenuity, potentially aiding future Mars missions and explorers.
NASA celebrated the mission's success and its impact on future planetary exploration with a ceremonial 'Final Comms' gathering.
