   Engineers at JPL today monitored a final transmission from the disabled Mars helicopter Ingenuity.

   Mars rover Perseverance is ready to move on west for exploration of the Jezero crater rim.

   Ingenuity will no longer be able to communicate with earth, but newly loaded software will allow it to make and store measurements every day, to be retrieved by a future robotic or human mission. Ingenuity’s memory could potentially hold about 20 years’ worth of daily data.
