2024年1月18日,在稀薄的火星大气中进行的第72次飞行中,自主火星直升机独创性上升到12米(40英尺)的高度,在红色星球上空盘旋了4.5秒。“匠心”号的第72次着陆并不顺利。在下降过程中,它与毅力号火星车在离火星表面1米的地方失去了联系。“匠心”号在恢复联系后传送了这张照片,显示了它的一个旋翼叶片可能在着陆过程中受损的阴影。因此,在经历了1000多天的火星探索之后,创造历史的匠心号已经结束了它的飞行任务。绰号金妮的火星直升机独创性于2021年4月19日成为第一架在另一个星球上实现动力控制飞行的飞机。发射前,莱特兄弟飞行者1号(Wright Brothers Flyer 1)左下角的一小块材料被固定在匠人号太阳能电池板的下方。莱特兄弟飞行者1号是第一架在地球上实现动力控制飞行的飞机。

On January 18, 2024, during its 72nd flight in the thin Martian atmosphere, autonomous Mars Helicopter Ingenuity rose to an altitude of 12 meters (40 feet) and hovered for 4.5 seconds above the Red Planet. Ingenuity's 72nd landing was a rough one though. During descent it lost contact with the Perseverance rover about 1 meter above the Martian surface. Ingenuity was able to transmit this image after contact was re-established, showing the shadow of one of its rotor blades likely damaged during landing. And so, after wildly exceeding expectations during over 1,000 days of exploring Mars, the history-making Ingenuity has ended its flight operations. Nicknamed Ginny, Mars Helicopter Ingenuity became the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on another planet on April 19, 2021. Before launch, a small piece of material from the lower-left wing of the Wright Brothers Flyer 1, the first aircraft to achieve powered, controlled flight on planet Earth, was fixed to the underside of Ingenuity's solar panel.
