Why did NASA's Ingenuity Helicopter Crash on Mars? Experts Have the Answer
"When running an accident investigation from 100 million miles away, you don't have any black boxes!" NASA's Håvard Grip said.
NASA video shows its next Martian helicopter soaring over Mars
After over 70 flights, the Ingenuity helicopter — the first craft to ever make a powered, controlled flight on another planet — crashed in the Martian dunes in January 2024. But its unexpected achievement (engineers hoped it might make five flights) has prompted the conceptual design and planning for what the agency calls its "Mars Chopper."
After crashing on Mars, NASA's Ingenuity helicopter could live on as a weather station for 20 years
Ingenuity may never fly above the surface of Mars again, but the downed helicopter is otherwise healthy and could serve as a weather station for decades, JPL says.

NASA Details What Went Wrong In First-Ever Helicopter Crash On Mars
"The damaged blades caused excessive vibration in the rotor system, ripping the remainder of one blade from its root and generating an excessive power demand that resulted in loss of communications," NASA states in its preliminary report.
NASA Ingenuity Helicopter's Crash on Mars Is Now Unveiled—Here's What Caused Its Demise
Ingenuity's Flight 72 saw the Mars helicopter perform a 'vertical hop' which was meant to only fly the rotorcraft for a brief moment to assess its flight systems and capture the area, but on its way down, the machine suffered damages that led to it being its final mission.
What Caused NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter To Crash? We Finally Know
NASA has completed the final assessment of its Ingenuity Mars helicopter and finally revealed what led to its crash. The rotorcraft flew for the last time on January 18 this year and met its end after it made a hard landing, breaking its blades.
