NASA has launched an investigation after a piece of foreign debris appeared on the foot of the Ingenuity helicopter during a flight through the skies of Mars.
The small piece of “foreign object debris” was spotted by the Mars helicopter’s navigation camera (Navcam) and teams are now working to identify exactly what it was.
The US space agency's jet propulsion laboratory took to social media this morning to say that the object “eventually came off and did not impact a successful Flight 33.”
