NASA's Ingenuity helicopter crossed another milestone, completing 50 flights on Mars. But it hasn't been all smooth flying. The helicopter had been running low on power, putting it out of contact for days. It also experienced a flight issue that caused it to abort its flight and land suddenly. As Perseverance continues to charge across the surface of Mars, NASA controllers are balancing the power needs of Ingenuity with its science priorities. How do they do it?
