NASA Loses Contact with its Mini-Helicopter on Mars During 72nd Flight

NASA's Ingenuity Mars helicopter lost communication during its 72nd flight on Mars, and the team is analyzing data to reestablish contact.
The problem may be related to the helicopter's downward-facing camera, which relies on surface indications for navigation. The lack of landmarks caused a navigation issue.
There is a possibility that the Perseverance rover could perform a visual inspection to determine the helicopter's status.
