The press service of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration released a message stating the termination of the Ingenuity helicopter mission on Mars .
NASA specialists clarified that this decision was made due to a breakdown of the device — it can no longer fly.
«Ingenuity stopped its mission on the red planet, exceeding expectations and completing “several dozen more flights than planned… It is in an upright position, and controllers on the ground are in contact with it, but pictures of its flight… indicate that one or more of its blades were damaged during landing,” the agency said.
