Hey, so this could be a really cool story to tell, not just about the helicopter disappearing, but everything leading up to it. Like, people need to understand how wild it is that this little drone was even there in the first place. It was just a tech test. They wanted to see if anything could fly on Mars at all, since the atmosphere is super thin. The original plan was: 5 flights in 30 days. But then it kept going. It ended up surviving over 1000 days, flying 72 times, through Martian winters, dust storms, random software issues. NASA kept updating it remotely. It basically turned into a scout, helping the rover find safe paths. It went from “cute side experiment” to full-on MVP.
Then it's just gone. NASA eventually shares a photo and you can kind of see something weird with one of the rotor shadows. Looks broken? Maybe. But no one knows for sure. They can’t get the rover close enough to check. Animation is created by Bright Side.
