Known software issue grounds Ingenuity Mars copter as it attempted fourth flight

NASA chose not to re-install OS and live with a 15 percent failure rate Laura Dobberstein Fri 30 Apr 2021 // 08:15 UTC Share Software issues prevented the fourth scheduled flight of NASA s Mars Ingenuity helicopter. The delay was not unexpected nor prevents future flights. In fact, NASA re-assured a waiting world that the helicopter is safe and in good health. The reason for the failure is also known: a software bug that results in a watchdog timer expiration prior to mode transition. And if Ingenuity doesn t make it into flight mode, it doesn t fly. NASA identified the bug two weeks ago and found two ways to solve the problem. One was to change the timing of the transition by adjusting the command sequence from Earth. The other was to modify and reinstall Ingenuity s existing flight control software.

Ingenuity s third flight goes further, faster, as Perseverance snaps pics n vid of copter zipping past Laura Dobberstein Mon 26 Apr 2021 // 08:01 UTC Share Copy VIDEO NASA s Ingenuity Mars helicopter has flown flying faster and further than ever before - even when it was on Earth - and we even have video of Sunday s 80-second flight because the Perseverance Rover’s Mastcam-Z had its eye on the drone s third flight. The video showed the helicopter lift vertically to an altitude of five metres, cruise horizontally for 50m until it disappeared off screen, before reappearing and landed back where it started. The drone reached speeds of two metres per second, a brisk walking pace.
