If a problem occurs where the timer is not reset, the system will automatically correct the problem. This can be simply thought of as \u201cturning the computer off and back on again\u201d automatically if any error occurs. These systems are in place to prevent permanent damage to the Helicopter. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image wp-block-image--obfuscated\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spaceexplored.com\/wp-content\/themes\/ninetofive\/dist\/images\/default-spaceexplored-related-guide.png\" alt=\"Site default logo image\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Currently, the team that works on the Mars Helicopter is reviewing all the data to determine what caused the issue with the flight, and what needs to be done to resolve it.

While Ingenuity will prove systems to improve future scientific exploration, this will be the first controlled and powered flight on Mars. As they address yesterday at the pre-flight briefing; the Wright brothers did not achieve flight on their first attempt, but they knew it would be possible and persevered. Every bit of information gathered will help improve future efforts as we explore space.<\/p>\n<p><ins data-ad-format=\"auto\" class=\"adsbygoogle adsbygoogle-noablate\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1148802292313187\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" style=\"display: block; margin: auto; background-color: transparent; height: 0px;\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"aswift_3\" name=\"aswift_3\" style=\"left: 0px; position: absolute; top: 0px; border: 0px; width: 775px; height: 0px; min-height: auto; max-height: none; min-width: auto; max-width: none;\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\" width=\"775\" height=\"0\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/googleads.g.doubleclick.net\/pagead\/ads?gdpr=0&amp;us_privacy=1YNN&amp;gpp=DBABL~BVQqAAAAAg&amp;gpp_sid=7&amp;client=ca-pub-1148802292313187&amp;output=html&amp;h=280&amp;num_ads=1&amp;adk=2072073738&amp;adf=1821075794&amp;abgtt=7&amp;w=775&amp;fwrn=4&amp;fwrnh=100&amp;lmt=1783312535&amp;rafmt=1&amp;armr=3&amp;sem=mc&amp;pwprc=4018519472&amp;ad_type=text_image&amp;format=775x280&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fspaceexplored.com%2F2021%2F04%2F12%2Fingenuity-flight-delayed%2F&amp;host=ca-host-pub-5506057612223327&amp;fwr=0&amp;pra=3&amp;rh=194&amp;rw=774&amp;rpe=1&amp;resp_fmts=3&amp;asro=0&amp;aimartd=4&amp;aieuf=1&amp;aicrs=1&amp;fa=27&amp;dt=1783312535098&amp;bpp=2&amp;bdt=1904&amp;idt=2&amp;shv=r20260701&amp;mjsv=m202606290101&amp;ptt=9&amp;saldr=aa&amp;abxe=1&amp;cookie=ID%3Dca9555a57a2f2561%3AT%3D1783311541%3ART%3D1783312234%3AS%3DALNI_MZ9A7T4VwT-tN8evk0ZwKoZ5JakhQ&amp;gpic=UID%3D000014b2e7cdc06e%3AT%3D1783311541%3ART%3D1783312234%3AS%3DALNI_MaSgUh-RdxMjeT5RHjKJMdOokxhLw&amp;eo_id_str=ID%3D884394a5f2fa4ed6%3AT%3D1783311541%3ART%3D1783312234%3AS%3DAA-AfjZ32sxFDDemDeSI8J0eSBXq&amp;prev_fmts=0x0%2C336x280%2C775x280&amp;nras=3&amp;correlator=4047386745595&amp;frm=20&amp;pv=1&amp;u_tz=480&amp;u_his=1&amp;u_h=960&amp;u_w=1707&amp;u_ah=912&amp;u_aw=1707&amp;u_cd=24&amp;u_sd=1.5&amp;dmc=8&amp;adx=96&amp;ady=2265&amp;biw=1421&amp;bih=637&amp;scr_x=0&amp;scr_y=0&amp;eid=95395661%2C31099492%2C42533293%2C95393485&amp;oid=2&amp;pvsid=628131388248880&amp;tmod=1680467553&amp;uas=0&amp;nvt=1&amp;fc=1408&amp;brdim=133%2C96%2C133%2C96%2C1707%2C0%2C1441%2C720%2C1438%2C637&amp;vis=1&amp;rsz=%7C%7Cs%7C&amp;abl=NS&amp;fu=128&amp;bc=31&amp;bz=1&amp;ifi=4&amp;uci=a!4&amp;btvi=3&amp;fsb=1&amp;dtd=27\" data-google-container-id=\"a!4\" tabindex=\"0\" title=\"Advertisement\" aria-label=\"Advertisement\" data-load-complete=\"true\" data-google-query-id=\"CNaR7OCcvZUDFQCg6QUd8W4VqA\"><\/iframe><\/ins><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"alignwide wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-update-ingenuity-requires-software-update\">[Update] Ingenuity Requires Software Update<\/h2>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On April 12th, NASA JPL announced that Ingenuity needs a software update in order to move forward with flight.
