Ingenuity helicopter phones home from Mars after 63-day silence

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:35:06 GMT

(CNN) — After 63 days of silence, the Mars Ingenuity helicopter is talking again.The little chopper took to the Martian skies on April 26 for its 52nd flight but lost contact with mission controllers before landing — creating a monthslong communications blackout.But Ingenuity phoned home again on June 28, relieving any potential concerns about the safety and whereabouts of the first aircraft on another world. That’s still a long time to humans here on Earth to wait for confirmation that Ingenuity landed safely.The flight was intended to reposition the helicopter and capture images of the Martian surface.The mission team anticipated that radio silence might occur.That’s because Ingenuity communicates with mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, by relaying all messages through the Perseverance rover.And when Ingenuity took off for flight 52, a hill presented an obstacle blocking the helicopter and rover from communicating with each other...

Nets could benefit as third team in Damian Lillard deal

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 04:35:06 GMT

Tyler Herro would be quite the consolation prize — but at what cost?It turns out Trail Blazers star Damian Lillard, who has officially requested a trade from Portland after multiple failed playoff runs, only wants to play for the Miami Heat.The Nets were linked to Lillard given the superstar guard’s relationship with franchise cornerstone Mikal Bridges, but 32-point-per-game scorer wants to go to a ready made championship contender.The Heat just lost to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals, while the Nets were swept out of the first round by the Philadelphia 76ers.The Heat, however, don’t have attractive enough assets alone for a Lillard trade, and Lillard doesn’t have a no-trade clause in his contract, meaning the Trail Blazers can deal him to any team that has assets Portland desires.Miami’s best trade package is built around former Sixth Man of the Year Herro, their only two tradeable draft picks in 2028 and 2030, veteran point guard Kyle Lowry and h...
