NASA has re-established contact with the intrepid Ingenuity Mars Helicopter after more than two months of radio silence, the space agency said Friday.
Ingenuity's 52nd flight launched on April 26, but mission controllers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California lost contact as it descended to the surface following its two minute, 1,191-foot hop.
The loss of communications was expected but data so far indicates that the heli is in good shape. If further health checks also come back normal, Ingenuity will be all set for its next flight, AFP said quoting experts
