Update: “We won’t know if the flight took place as scheduled until early Jan downlink” – JPL message to Inside Outer Space.

Imagery from NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter has been posted, photography that was acquired on  December 22 – the projected 70th aerial dance above the Red Planet at Jezero Crater.

The images were taken by the craft’s navigation camera mounted in the helicopter’s fuselage and pointed directly downward to track the ground during flight.
