Earlier today, the Mars Persevere rover captured a high resolution image of Ingenuity using the SuperCam RMI instrument. One rotor blade is broken off completely, the others have damaged tips.
Shortly after it’s last flight they pulsed the motors to spin the blades and discovered that one was missing by watching the shadows from Ingenuity’s horizon cam. But this is the first photo confirming it. It may also be the last if Perseverance comes no closer to it.
