Two days later, the mission specialists were able to link the devices again, scientists hope that they were able to establish the cause of the failure..

Satellite data showed that the anomaly was the result of a helicopter powered by solar panels going into a low power state, likely due to increased dust in the Martian atmosphere and lower temperatures due to the onset of winter..

Ingenuity and Perseverance teams are working to get the helicopter back in the air soon. They have sent commands that lower the turn-on temperatures of the helicopter's heaters, potentially allowing its batteries to hold more power..

Previously, the Perseverance rover took a “selfie” on the Red Planet with the help of its robotic arm, which also included Ingenuity. At the time of the picture, the rover was at a distance of four meters from the helicopter.
