To accomplish this accomplishment, the Ingenuity team is planning a series of 4-7 flights to return to Wright Brothers Field. Flight Profile for Ingenuitys Flight 15: This annotated image illustrates the planned ground track of NASAs Ingenuity Mars Helicopter (light blue) during its 15th flight at Mars. The green lines suggest the anticipated sightlines that will be captured in the flights 10 prepared color images. Taking location no earlier than Saturday, Nov. 6 at 9:22 a.m. PT, or 12:03 LMST (local Mars time), the 254th sol (Martian day) of the Perseverance objective, Flight # 15 will return Ingenuity back to the Raised Ridges area, imaged in Flight # 10. In this flight the helicopter will pass through 1,332 feet (406 meters) throughout 130 seconds of flight, taking a trip at 11.1 mph (5 mps) groundspeed.

Below is an upgraded ledger of some of the most essential numbers for Ingenuitys Mars flights up until now. In addition to those noted below, weve taken 83 13-megapixel color images, 1,772 black-and-white navigation video camera images, and carried out 2 flight software application upgrades along the way
Determinations First Road Trip: This annotated image of Mars Jezero Crater illustrates the route NASAs Perseverance rover is taking throughout its very first science campaign– as well as its course to the location of its second science project. Ingenuity will be tasked with signing up with Perseverance along this journey, with the goal of reaching Jezeros river delta.

The above figure illustrates the objective ahead of Ingenuity, which is to sign up with Perseverance in the trek north along the east edge of Séítah, prior to taking a trip west to reach the Jezero ancient river delta. To achieve this task, the Ingenuity team is planning a series of 4-7 flights to return to Wright Brothers Field.

Flight # 15 is the start of our journey back to Wright Brothers Field. Occurring no earlier than Saturday, Nov. 6 at 9:22 a.m. PT, or 12:03 LMST (local Mars time), the 254th sol (Martian day) of the Perseverance objective, Flight # 15 will return Ingenuity back to the Raised Ridges area, imaged in Flight # 10. In this flight the helicopter will pass through 1,332 feet (406 meters) throughout 130 seconds of flight, traveling at 11.1 mph (5 mps) groundspeed. Well record color return-to-earth (RTE) high resolution (13MP) images, one post-takeoff pointed to the SW, and 9 pointed toward the NW along the flight-path. Small elevation for the flight is anticipated to be 39.3 feet (12 meters) above ground level.
This will be the second flight of Ingenuity throughout Mars summertime low air-density, needing that the rotor blades are spun at 2,700 RPM to compensate. This flight will produce important high-RPM motor performance, which the group will use to design and tailor upcoming low-density flights in the months ahead.
