On July 20, 2022 NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter took latest images from Red Planet preparing for flight 30. Mars Rover Perseverance continuously transmits Ingenuity’s data. Currently the Mars Helicopter waits until Martian weather permits to make 30 flight. There is dust in the atmosphere that significantly limits Ingenuity’s capability to recharge its battery. So by the end of this month Mars Helicopter will fly again. Component of the tie-down belt also presented in this video, but Ingenuity captured this image in April 2022.
