NASA's Mars helicopter, Ingenuity, has sustained too much damage to continue its mission, but will be rotated and "wiggled" in its final days to help NASA understand its demise. Despite its premature end, Ingenuity far surpassed expectations, completing 72 flights instead of the expected five. It also provided valuable aerial support to the Mars rover Perseverance, and its legacy will continue to inspire future exploration of other planets.
