's is in the log! Planned for Dec. 24, 2022, the earliest, it finally took place on Jan 5, 2023.

The 10 image animation shows the landing. The new software can be seen in action in this animation: the hesitates a little, while deciding which is the best area to land, and then lands on clear and sandy area (last two frames)

The map shows the estimated 38th landing of #Ingenuity (yellow dashed line). Probably a few meters shorter than the planed distance, but I have the suspicion the target airfield is set on purpose on a regolith ripple in order to test the new risk-avoidance software. Just a wild guess 😎

The map also shows my earlier guesses; it was created with #QGIS and #HiRISE,

Go little Mars helicopter! 🚁 🚁

I wonder what the almost 2 week delay was caused by... 🤔

I guess there's not much chance that Ginny did a rotate left to grab a photo or two of #Perseverance, during the flight.
