Ingenuity experienced a blackout due to dust accumulation on its solar panels
This resulted in a pause in the mission for both ingenuity and for perseverance.
This shows that a “Test vehicle” designed for four flights has become a massive asset for the Perseverance team.
With 28 completed flights, the Ingenuity is the first power flight on another planet!

On Wed Wingcopter announced the FAA had issued the special class airworthiness criteria.
This is NOT yet an airworthiness certificate but rather the requirements that must be met to obtain an airworthiness certificate!
This is a huge step forwards for drone delivery!
