Ingenuity is catalogued in this registry as a helicopter, held in the frame of Mars, from Mars surface traverses (Perseverance, Curiosity, Ingenuity).
Registry id INGENUITY ·
source layer roverpaths ·
provenance PROCESSED — derived deterministically from source catalogues (unit, frame and epoch conversions, cross-source reconciliation) — no value invented
Exists from 2021-04-03 19:52:34 UTC (JD 2459308.32818) until 2024-01-19 01:01:31 UTC (JD 2460328.54272).
Open Ingenuity in the live scene → The scene composes a position for any date and is where a figure becomes a picture. It downloads the whole catalogue first: measured against the built product, an object outside the core resolves after about 16 s over a local network and about 147 s over a 4 Mbit link, having transferred roughly 70 MB. If you cannot wait that long, this page is the answer.
This object's parent frame changes over its life. Each leg names the frame it is expressed in and the source arc it came from. A leg with no geometry is a declared gap — the registry holds no path across it and draws none. This object has 286 legs; the table shows the first and last 12 and counts the rest.
