The helicopter on Mars just flew again after surviving an emergency landing

From Ars Technica:
"... Ingenuity's most recent flight on August 3 was nonetheless an important one for the helicopter. That's because, on its 53rd flight in late July, the helicopter automatically aborted a planned flight of 136 seconds after just 76 seconds and made an emergency landing."

Go, baby, go!

A good pilot knows when to make an emergency landing! Glad to see it worked as it should and that all looks well for the future.
