"NASA Regains Communication with Ingenuity Mars Helicopter After Temporary Loss"

NASA has restored contact with its Ingenuity Mars helicopter after it went silent following its 72nd mission. The communication blackout occurred on Thursday, but contact was re-established on Saturday, allowing the team to review fresh data to understand the cause. The $80 million helicopter had completed three successful flights and transitioned to a new operations demonstration phase to explore collaboration with future rovers and aerial explorers on Mars.
