NASA Restores Communication with Mars Helicopter Ingenuity

NASA regained contact with its Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, after losing communication during its descent from Flight 72, a quick pop-up vertical flight to check its systems. Perseverance, tasked with relaying data, reestablished contact with Ingenuity after performing long-duration listening sessions. Meanwhile, the European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter spotted large ice water deposits below the Martian surface at the equator, the most water ever found in that part of the planet, providing valuable clues about Mars's past climate and potential resources for future missions.
