There's a fix for what ails the Mars helicopter's software
CNN
The first flight of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars is still delayed, but the mission's team is working on a solution to make it possible. A software revision will be tested on Earth and then uploaded to the helicopter. A new flight date will be set next week.
The helicopter returned data to mission teams on Earth late Friday evening that caused NASA to reschedule the first flight. Ingenuity conducted a high-speed test of its rotors Friday, but the command sequence ended early due to a watchdog timer that expired. This early end of the test happened when the helicopter was trying to shift the flight computer from preflight into flight mode.More Related News
