Until today we only had lower resolution Mastcam-Z images of the damaged helicopter.

New Mastcam-Z images further confirm that one of the blades from the upper rotor is entirely missing. Previously this damage was only seen in the helicopter shadow in images taken by the navigation camera from Ingenuity. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Simeon Schmauß

Taking images from a plane is quite common for photogrammetric reconstructions. However, the images for this 3D model of the #Montblanc massif were photographed from a fair bit higher than that. @Astro_Sabot took them last month from @Space_Station more than 400km above ground!🧵

My goal was to extract clean images so I can interpolate the whole video with AI to get a very smooth video like @TJ_Cooney did for the rover deployment sequence.

Chandrayaan-3 Rover Footage Processed w/ AI I took some time to clean up the rover deployment footage sent back by the Chandrayaan-3 mission. The original footage is a timelapse, and what ISRO published was using rudimentary frame interpolation to time it properly. I went ahead

New stereo image of the #Dinkinesh asteoroid and its newly discovered contact binary moon Selam. I colorized this L’LORRI image using lower resolution false color data from the MVIC instrument. Read more about the moon and it's name here:

These are the images from the nadir pointing navigation camera that I mainly used to reconstruct the geometry. You can see the backshell towards the later part of the flight. A bit earlier if you look closely you can also see the parachute in the left corners.

📽️ Survol de la zone du crash de la coque arrière et du parachute par l'hélicoptère #Ingenuity 🚁. Ingenuity n'est bien sûr pas piloté en temps réel (c'est impossible), l'orientation de l'hélicoptère pour acquérir ces images avait été programmée à l'avance. Belle précision !

Sad to see the shadow of Ingenuity's rotor blade like this. According to Teddy Tzanetos, the outer 25% of the lower rotor are missing, presumably due to an impact with the ground during landing.

We have most likely already seen this blade in the Mastcam-Z images. It landed in the sand, roughly 15m away from the helicopter.

@GalileoAlmeria @landru79 I think there may be a piece of the rotor blade. ~15m to the South west of Ingenuity

@NASAJPL A closer crop on the blade shows a small disturbance in the sand to the right of it. This is where the blade first contacted the ground after flying some 15m from Ingenuity. The tip of the blade appears to be clipped, just like the other blades which are still attached.

@Astro_Aure @isro This is how the interpolation ended up looking. It starts out pretty nicely but quickly turns into a complete mess. This was interpolated with Rife3.1, but I had similar results with DAIN and TopazAI. Maybe you have better luck @DJSnM ? I'd be happy to send you the images.

More images from the mosaic have arrived. The suspected detached blade can now be clearly identified. It's a bit left of the center of this image behind the sand ripple Ingenuity is sitting on. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/LANL/CNES/IRAP/Simeon Schmauß CC-BY

@DaveAtCOGS @joebarnard @SpaceX @phi48 Great job, you are fast! I can confirm, it's a perfect match, even the hot pixels are visible in the SpaceX image. We can even see where they painted out the Soyuz solar panel.
