AGU24 Press conference: The First Aircraft Crash Inv...

簡單說因飛越的地形特徵過於單調和機智號本身相機規格限制因素使導航軟体無法識別地形起伏，外加電力系統也有點狀況（可能在降落前的瞬間斷電），造成降落事故

旋翼斷裂的原因研判不是撞擊，而是降落在沙丘頂上時造成側傾同時又降落速度過高，造成旋翼向下彎曲的應力斷裂

電力問題發生原因還無法確定，但降落前一瞬間造成系統關鍵日誌沒紀錄

這也算AIC的業務範圍嗎

“The first air crash investigation on another world has concluded that the crash of the Ingenuity helicopter on Mars was caused by the inability of the navigation system to track the relatively featureless terrain.
This resulted in a touchdown with too much lateral velocity, applying a hard banding moment to the rotor blades causing them to snap.”
