- NASA engineers and scientists, alongside AeroVironment, have pinpointed the likely cause of the Ingenuity helicopter's crash.
- The helicopter's navigation system failed to detect enough features on the smooth Martian surface, leading to a horizontal landing.
- Conducting this forensic analysis was difficult due to the absence of a black box, relying on limited data and imagery.
- The crash site was characterized by steep, featureless sand ripples, complicating the ability to determine its position.

- New research indicates the presence of water reservoirs beneath the surface of Mars.
- The data was collected by Nasa's Mars Insight Lander, which landed on the planet in 2018 and recorded Mars quakes.
- Researchers found that the water reservoirs are located at depths of about six to twelve miles in the Martian crust.
- This finding could also present a new target for the exploration of life on Mars.
