Now we are down safely I am starting a map thread. Everything that happens during 2021 will be covered in my still-in-progress atlas, so I have to make the maps for that and everyone can follow as they evolve.
Let me know if any feature names start to show up. Preliminary map even though not much has happened yet. But if you look closely you will see something, even now. Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.

Based on the flight 6 announcement and the high resolution color image from Ingenuity probably from when hovering high above its landing sight I made maps of the imaged area and of how flight 6 could look like:
It gives me confidence that the flight 5 landing location is not far off. There is potential to improve the mapping by adding more control points. Hopefully I will find time to do that since it would improve on the HiRISE mapping. The field of small, triangular dunes, and the east-west striping on the ground are among the features which could not be detected on the HiRISE images. This is just a visualization of a potential flight path based on the description in the announcement. If I did that correctly, t works out for landing on the rugged crater rim (!). The idea that drones could explore places inside craters not accessible by rover may be tested soon. -------------------- --
