"Final Transmission: Mars Helicopter's Last Message to NASA"

NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, which made history as the first aircraft to fly on another planet, has sent its final transmission before becoming a stationary monitor on Mars following a crash in January. The helicopter, originally intended for a month-long mission, exceeded expectations with almost three years of exploration and 72 flights. Despite the crash, many of its components remain functional, allowing it to collect data for future Mars explorers.
