I wonder how much of a dust cloud it will kick up and how much that will interfere with its imagery. I guess we will find out, but I am not setting my expectations too high.


Not much - the downwash velocity is not that high compared to the dust lifting windspeed.

This might be behind a paywall for you, but there's an analysis here

That's cool!

Question: Does anyone know what the components are which move in the undercarriage, on the left and right sides, much closer than the debris cover? They also seem to move a panel crossing the width of the undercarriage between them.

Those things are parts of the Belly Pan which was dropped earlier. This is an animation made with views before the belly pan was dropped and after the debris shield was dropped, not simply before and after the debris shield was dropped.

T - 1 hour to a preview of the flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WK5YXZIIEKU

I'd hazard a guess that they've found a good site for the flights.

They have indeed. Very close to the original landing spot. There were maps during the presentation.

Is the launch point going to be in one of the scour marks from the descent stage's engines? Might be less dusty....

Looks like it's just outside the blast zone, maybe some dust was blown.

I hear Ingenuity's window of operation will last about 30 days. When does the 30 days start? Is it on April 8, the tentative first day of flight?

Once Ingenuity is deployed to the surface, it has 30 sols (31 Earth Days) to complete its activities. The first phase is a commissioning process that is expected to take about a week; then the first flight tests begin.

Lots of new images down of the underbelly and Ingenuity as well as pans of the surrounding area. I'd say we are truly at the final helicopter drop location.
