Ahoj Jam, před časem jsi mi poslal/a odkaz na aktualizace teplot pro kráter Gale. Ztratil/a jsem ho kvůli problému s telefonem. Mohl/a bys mi prosím poslat odkaz znovu?
Díky.

MARS INGENUITY HELICOPTER

During the descent phase of Flight 72 on January 18, 2024, Ingenuity experienced an abnormal landing near the right side of this image.

The smooth, and monotonous terrain proved difficult for the helicopter's navigation system to track during Flight 72, 18 January 202.
