How this helicopter survived 1004 days on Mars, then disappeared…

https://ve42.co/SnatomsV

Correction:
0:12, we say that ingenuity is 680g which is its weight on Mars. On Earth however, it weighs around 1800g.

Clarifications:
– A Patreon supporter named Zeus pointed out that we were wrong about Perseverance’s/Ingenuity’s position on Mars. It is in the Northern Hemisphere and hence Mars would be getting closer to the Sun as it goes into winter.
– Ingenuity was on Mars for 1004 Earth days.
