Nasa has been forced to delay the first flight of the Ingenuity Mars helicopter – which is set to be the first powered, controlled flight on another world – because of an unexpected failure of the craft’s rotors.
“During a high-speed spin test of the rotors on Friday, the command sequence controlling the test ended early due to a ‘watchdog’ timer expiration”, Nasa said in a statement.
“This occurred as it was trying to transition the flight computer from ‘Pre-Flight’ to ‘Flight’ mode. The helicopter is safe and healthy and communicated its full telemetry set to Earth.”
