Summary

Description
English: This is the real-time animation where each frame displayed at 1 fps rate. For this animation of flight 36 of Ingenuity 182 frames acquired by the navigation camera (NAV) of the helicopter were used.

Animation starts from the photo taken at 16:31:32 local mean solar time on December 10, 2022 (sol 642 of the Perseverance rover mission), when its 1 m (3.3ft) above martian surface after departure. Timestamp for the last photo is 16:32:19, when Ingenuity has almost 1 metre (3.3 ft) above the martian surface before landing at Airfield X again after 60.5 seconds of flight.

The navigation camera has been programmed to deactivate whenever the rotorcraft is within 1 m (3.3 ft) of the surface. This helps ensure any dust kicked up during takeoff and landing won’t interfere with the navigation system as it tracks features on the ground.
