TL;DR Summary

NASA's Mars helicopter Ingenuity completed its final flight on January 18 after sustaining damage to a rotor blade, and the Perseverance rover captured an image of its final resting place on February 4. The image shows Ingenuity sitting alone near the top of a dune on Mars, with a field of scattered rocks in the foreground and sweeping dunes in the distance. Despite the damage, Ingenuity's legacy includes 72 flights and nearly 130 minutes of air time, setting the stage for future aerial robotic explorers on Mars.
