"NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter Communication Lost"

NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter lost communication with its handlers during its 72nd flight on Mars, with data indicating a successful climb to its maximum altitude before communication was lost during descent. The team is analyzing data and considering next steps to reestablish communication, with the possibility of the Perseverance rover aiding in the effort. Ingenuity has completed 72 flights, covering 11 miles, and it remains to be seen if communication can be restored with the pioneering chopper.
