"Remote Imaging Locates Broken Rotor Blade of Stricken Mars Helicopter"

NASA's Perseverance rover has located the broken rotor blade of the stricken Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, using the Remote Microscopic Imager. The blade was found about 50 feet west of the helicopter, which became stranded after its 72nd flight. The mission for Ingenuity ended on January 25, surpassing expectations by flying more than planned. Perseverance's mission on Mars includes astrobiology and the search for signs of ancient microbial life, as well as collecting and caching Martian rock and dust for future analysis.
