-------------------------------------------------------------------
This video documents a series of remarkable discoveries and activities by the Perseverance rover and the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars, covering a range of sols (Martian days) from 887 to 965. The narrative begins with Perseverance wrapping up activities at the Dream Lake site, where it observes rich olivine crystals and a crab's claw-like rock. The rover then conducts a successful abrasion on sol 893, examining the results under UV lighting to reveal more olivine crystals. Meanwhile, Ingenuity performs a short hop, advancing towards an ancient riverbed, a region challenging for Perseverance due to deep sand deposits.
The video highlights several key moments, such as the discovery of a dust devil on sol 899, Ingenuity's continued flights to explore Neretva Vallis, and Perseverance's various discoveries, including a rock with circular markings and another that resembles a sombrero, which sparks interest due to its potential case hardening. Perseverance successfully traverses a challenging boulder field, enters the Mandu Wall area, and investigates intriguing rocks with small nodules and hydrated silica, suggesting the potential for finding biosignatures.
Ingenuity's flights offer breathtaking views of the Martian landscape, including the delta face and the banks of what was once Neretva Vallis. Perseverance takes samples, including the Lefroy Bay sample, and deals with the Martian environment's challenges, such as navigating over rocks and analyzing the sand with its laser.
The narrative also covers Perseverance's observations of the Martian sky, noting the presence of thin, ice-made cirrus-like clouds. As a solar conjunction approaches, with Mars going behind the Sun and cutting off communication with Earth, Perseverance finds a parking spot to wait out the communication blackout, during which it conducts self-imaging to assess the dust accumulation on its body.

Fly high Ingenuity, you have a special place in our heart

[@davidclark573]

I detected conclusive evidence of past aquatic life on Mars viewing a perseverance Rover scan of the surface of Mars but NASA is not interested. Why?

[@Sm-kz3yj]

Its that a pun or what i miss her aka ingenuity but it sounds like a pun because ingenuity was flying

[@macrovisualstudio]

Finally after 5 months of waiting. I hope you are well, that's great video, we,re waiting for another

[@anar3786]

It is always worth the long wait. Great to see you're back. Already waiting for the next episode (let's make it a little sooner).

Working on it! Thanks for sticking by :)

First we lose the our wheel rock friend.. now Ingenuity! 😢 The fact it made 72 flights though and was only suppose to make 5 is incredible! Maybe we can rescue you in the future little buddy!

[@revtoyota]

Its been too long my friend. I hope you are well. Another great video.

[@talancae]

Thank you so much for still posting these videos. They are wonderful and I appreciate all the effort you put into creating them. Unfortunately, people lose interest in things like that, but these things are the way to a better society, space exploration... Thank you again, you guys rock !

[@jeff431rt2]

sad that ingenuity cant fly anymore

[@stargazer-elite]

Yes indeed 🫡 but just like all the other rovers and Landers, our little helicopter buddy outlasted its expected lifespan

[@nunya___]

Should've bought that AAA membership.

[@viarnay]

Sheet happens

[@viarnay]

​@@stargazer-elitethat's not true its lifespan was way longer but sheet happens

[@stargazer-elite]

@@viarnay I could’ve sworn I heard about how it’s life span was only expected to be like a year or 2 especially since it’s the first of its kind

[@Rick_B52]

I love this series. I have never been as emotional about a machine as I was when I heard about ingenuity. It's a true marvel of humanity.

[@jimcabezola3051]

Mahalo to you and Alan for bringing coherence to the long-running narrative of Perseverance and Ingenuity. The overarching story can get bogged down due to the tremendous detail the daily reports provide. Your story threads sew the whole thing together. Glad to hear your report. Aloha.

[@markthompson9914]

I’m really hoping that they can in fact fly the little bot. But it has done more than we could ever have hoped for. I freaking love this channel ✌️🇬🇧

[@omaAar511]

Finally, elder Fox is back!! Part two soon, please!

[@bloodcs]

Lets go been awaiting the next update

[@realizt420]

Motivational Mars video

[@edwardaustin740]

I've been a fan and subscriber of your channel for almost a year now and enjoy all the videos you share with us. It's very appreciative. Keep it coming, please.

[@scottymoondogjakubin4766]

Its like being on mars but from my living room couch !

[@bigdogben]

Good to see a video from this channel. RIP Ingenuity.

[@vincent6210]

Ingenuity delivered more than what we expected it to

[@GeniusHawlah]

Imagine detecting life one day.

[@John-ls2gp]

This narrator would explain it away as he is a real buzzkill. Based on other sites there is very little doubt of life recently.

[@spaceflighthistory5362]

Thank you Elderfox!❤

[@ElderFoxDocumentaries]

You're welcome 😊

[@OpiumBird740]

Beautiful ❤🎉

[@testfire3000]

Thank you for keeping us posted on the latest. I had not heard about the incident with Ingenuity until you mentioned it.

[@KokomaruTV]

I love your videos sooo much ! I think you are my favorite channel ever. It's always so much emotion, so much curiosity, so much dreaming watching at your video. It's just incredible. It's like my own little private moment when I watch this. I'm in love. Thank you for all the work ! Best regards from France !

[@attitudeeditsyz7890]

I am waiting for this video

[@marieleelee]

You have no idea how many times I’ve check in to your channel to see if there was a new update. Could I look up all the updates myself? Yes. Will I? No. You do it better!

[@ElderFoxDocumentaries]

Thank you so much :)

[@lalluap]

I always watch your videos before I go to bed to think beyond world and that makes get in to deep sleep. 🛌

[@augl2702]

It will always blow my mind that we achieved flight on another planet.

[@paulstix1]

Thanks for these inspiring videos . Uplifting stuff in these times .

[@nerd_in_space]

Keep up the good work

[@stargazer-elite]

One day humanity will be there to join our robo-scouts truly one the biggest achievements of an advanced civilization and to think that as we still haven’t found life out there is crazy. While yes statistically there has to be life out there the many theories on why we haven’t found life still can’t explain it 100%. I’m young I hope one day I can live to see humanity become multi-planetary. Imagine actually getting to be there in person absolutely amazing.

[@consensus688]

But the universe so big we may never find as we can only observe a very small part of it around us and even then we've seen a tiny amount of that very small part

Sand is a massive problem if you clip the top of a dune with your rotor blades. :(

[@ninarizzo7312]

Fascinating 🤗

[@SuperDboy4]

I love your videos! Fantastic music as well!

[@bigsquatchsasfoot1964]

This is just so incredible that man has put technology on another planet and it kinda works and we can actually see it amazing ! Shame about ingenuity I’m surprised they never had a ring shield of some kind around those rotors but I’m sure there’s a reason in its design . Fabulous vid really enjoyed it thanks 👍

[@Envious_Chuunibyou]

Amazing video

3:14 ,, the classic HhHHaTtTt,, 😂

[@MW_Demon]

Sadly due to deposit of martian dust on solar panels and ripping of a small part of wing, ingenuity can't able to survive . But it has done his work greatly and opened gateway for more aerial rovers for exploration on mars ❤️

[@FLAGMACHINE11]

This is a place immensely shaped by water. You can see the aquatic shapes & ridges everywhere!

2:24 this rock should be called ‘Mr Keema’ from the Lost in Space Alien ‘The Golden Man’ .

[@pinoyhappynetwork]

They should check the "face". The now faded monument build by the annunakis for Alalu who is buried there and was credited as the first annunaki who discovered earth.

[@sammyhooligan803]

Absolutely, although they are just showing non-habited places. The airbrush of ancient technology was done on purpose in other photos.

[@caglayanharun]

Thank you for video; it's ...

Merci pour la vidéo. why some images are blackened at the periphery of the image

[@larryyoderlarryyoder353]

Unfortunately ingenuity is finished

[@user-zp6uw7nm9g]

On 3:44, there’s a hole, which looks like a 4X4 on the upper right corner of the screen. Did anyone else see that too?

[@maxwellbauer3917]

Pause at 1:39 the sky is blue?? Does Mars have an atmosphere like ours? Or is that just the camera?

[@sammyhooligan803]

No , Carbon dioxide 95%., And 3% nitrogen, Trace amounts of oxygen. Probably camera interference or something look blue.

[@Anon.1277]

It does, but its alot thinner.

[@sammyhooligan803]

Within 2 minutes, a person would die of lack of oxygen, and internal organs would burst or explode. And the temperature would be below zero, very cold 🥶.

[@cvanhetkaar96]

The bottom edge of that circular rock at 8:00 looks like it has writing on it, spelling something like M A l i … 😊

[@Indygo9]

How long ago did Mars lose it's magnetosphere and atmosphere?

где марсияне то?

[@zaffyr]

ok

[@SirSmokeAlot1985]

So awesome!

[@Primatron]

If NASA found a crashed Alien spacecraft on Mars would they announce it to the world? Or would it be kept top secret. My instinct says the latter.

[@azkavanny3077]

Both. If its safe. Then they gonna say it

[@imaseeker100]

Ah...the old 'pope in the pizza'.

I have better than circles. Who cares about circles anymore. If you care about Mars you would get past circles. not trying to sound rude, but it's getting ridiculous to keep looking at anomalous things when you finally see what is in sol 1065 the rim of gale crater.
