      It was only a 30 day mission initially. So adding panel cleaning tech wasn't really needed for Ingenuity. But i do agree with you about a cleaning system to be invented. Perhaps an air chamber could be used to collect atmosphere, and keep piling it in their until it could be released at high pressure to blow dust off panels. The main reason cleaning systems haven't been used is all the weight capacity is all used up by science gear. Every gram counts on these missions.

      Such a arm costs a lot of power and mass, resources that are most valuable in space. Also the scraping of dust can damage the panels and the winds on Mars generally do a good job in removing the sand and dust. The engineers did of course consider it, but decides that the benefits did not outweigh the costs.

    I loved this video, all your videos are just so damn well done man! Maris is speculated by some to have formed life only 400 million years after it's creation way sooner than our lovely Earth did. This is because it is smaller and as thus lost heat from it's creation faster than Earth did to a habitable and water sustaining level. IIRC it is thought that Mars became geologically inactive, cooled, down and lost liquid water on it's surface entirely around 1.5 billion years ago or so. Meaning life very well could have thrived there for a good 1.8 billion years giving rise to bacterium and plankton type life if life evolved there at an earth similar rate. when I see Mars and really take the vibes, energies, and everything in deep I get the strongest feeling of a history of life, i can't really explain it. I honestly think life was there with a 100% certainty. If only Mars was lucky enough to have captured a satellite that was at least 2000 km in diameter with decent density orbiting ~100k km away. This would have kept Mars's core hot longer from tidal forces flexing and heating the core through friction. This would have kept it geologically active with volcanic eruptions constantly resupplying gases to the atmosphere. If this were the case life would still exist there and who knows how much it would have evolved... maybe even intelligent life?!
    It's really a shame it had to go down in the manner in which it did. Mars only captured two asteroid sized satellites ugh.

    NASA couldn’t have included a tiny air compressor to blow off the helicopters solar panels?

      Simply because the mission wasn't expected to last long enough for that to be a problem, and they thought that including something similar was a waste of money and resources, And more recent missions do not use solar panels.

    ALL the Mars rovers have suffered from the same problem of dust on the solar collectors.
    It seems to me, that it should not be beyond the wit of man, and also, a priority, to devise a system to periodically clean the dust off the collectors.
    This could be done in several ways. Either by inverting the collectors, so the dust falls off, or maybe by just blowing the dust away, with something like a miniature leaf blower. Wiping would not be good as this would scratch the collectors. Maybe just tilting them a little, and either vibrating them, or a small 'hammer' shock, would work, or maybe electrostatic repulsion. Maybe there's a surface treatment that would facilitate dust rejection. It would need tests to ascertain the most efficient and least power usage system.
    Perhaps something from nature, like dragonfly, butterfly wings, or some other insect, could give the answer.

    I like to know if they found anything at all on Mars anything besides rocks and sand
