Covering 632 m in Flight #9 was possible due to the fact that the helicopter was 'sliding down' from - 2569 at departure to -2579 at arrival.
On contrary, flight #21 M->N shall be climbing out of the -2570 'pit' up to... say, -2565 (=+5m), so I'm not sure that 'ordinary' ~400 m for 170 sec may be covered.
Next limitation is 1000 m for communications. Helicopter may wait for a long time at 'Field N', until Perseverance reappears at the northern side of Seitah region in a direct LOS view at a distance <1000 m.

Sol 375/Flight 21 map update.

If I'm not completely wrong when comparing Navcam and HiRISE images, the rover made a 200 m drive on sol 384.
The estimated coordinates are approximately 77.4620°E 18.4571°N

Sol 389 update for Perseverance and sol 388 / flight 23 for Ingenuity. We might see skycrane on the next flight.

These are such great maps thank you. Nice to see the contour lines.

Thank you Mark.
Here is a new version of flight 23 map, updated with latest the JPL track.
Ingenuity didn't fly in a straight line, but headed north first and then made sharp turn to the west. It means they are flying very close to the planned track.

I figured that.they would avoid flying over that hill.and stay in the flat area.

--Bill

I think they. indicated a while back they were planning a dog leg around the hill Bill.

Also, they are commanding Ingenuity over distances exceeding 1 km without much difficulty it seems. I guess its just a matter of bitrate. Is there a practical maximum limit for the antennas where the bitrate drops below say a couple hundred baud?

Mark

I never did that in the past, but a map of what I think is the last known location of the rover, using my last panorama :

Erin Gibbons, team member posted this for sol 405

Hi, everybody! Yesterday the new Delta Front Campaign plan was published. May I ask anybody to draw the arrows for “Cape Nukshak” and “Hawksbill Gap” mentioned there? Thank you.
--Cherurbino

hi

Got the location from @dejasu and set them on the Uberlin Hirise map

Hope that helps

Map with contour lines : https://maps.planet.fu-berlin.de/jezero/

The initial sections of the two paths are shown in this document from a recent MEPAG meeting, refer to slide 9 of the presentation. The route names are in very small text: https://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/meeting/2022-01/...2_Ingenuity.pdf

I'm sorry but I had some earthly work that kept me away from Mars mapping, but finally found some time to update my maps.
I noted that they are tinkering a lot with a geojson (like renumbering sols), which made my work a bit more complex (to track all the changes).
I also reworked the distance grid as well to make it more precise (note its rectangular appearance, where latitude axis is shorter than longitude's)
So here it is, update to sol 426 for Perseverance and flight 28 for Ingenuity.

This is a hobby for most of us I think so the time you commit to making these great images away from your other paying work is very much appreciated.

Thank you very much, positive feedback is what keeps me going.

An update to sol 439. I miss new target names, they are difficult to come by.

While busy with other things I am still collecting names - but there have been very few lately. I don't know the exact locations yet for Rocky Top (probably off this map to the north) or Devils Tanyard.

(I will post from time to time...)

That map is a work of art. Thank you for creating it.

Thank you, that is a really nice compliment. I also made a similar map for Curiosity, see the MSL map section.

Beautiful maps thank you. I hesitate to offer any suggestions, but would it be possible on future versions to use a finer traverse line and smaller triangles for the waypoints? Some areas (like the current location) are congested with waypoints.
Thanks again. Really enjoy poring over these!

Thank you Mark. I constantly tweak the maps in one way or another in order to improve them. I gave your suggestion a try and made lines thinner and symbols a bit smaller, but at times it is still difficult to totally de-clutter the map.
I hope you like the new result.
I also managed to find a few target names in Perseverance's updates. The exact sols when these targets were focused on is not indicated, but there is suggestion of existence of additional names.

Lovely. Thanks again for these wonderful immersive maps.

This is what I have so far for names. I can't guarantee all of them are in the right location (e.g. Hughes River Gap).

Trying to keep up with names. Paul has helped by pointing some things out to me, much appreciated. I am now pulling names out of the Analysts notebook and will post more maps soon, but there were almost no names given along the rapid traverse around the top of Seitah.

Two more maps with names in this area.

This map goes back earlier with a few names from the drive north after the Seitah sampling.

A particularly significant point is the location labelled '350', the end of drive location on sol 350. That drive was not documented with the usual end of drive panorama and the location shows up as 351 on the mission map. The real 351 location is further along the path, and the map misleadingly suggests the '350' point is a waypoint along that drive. The text of the Analyst's notebook makes it clear there was a sol 350 drive and the raw Navcam images for sol 350 show stages along that drive. The rear Hazcams for the start of sol 351 show the same location before the 351 drive. So this 'stealth drive' has not been shown correctly on any map up to now.

I'm guessing that was a multi sol drive without ground in the loop.

Yes, it was.

Putting together some details from earlier in the mission. Here is a map of the Issole region showing the rover positions at the various stops arounmd the outcrop.

Hi Phil-

Looks like a typo on the latest (and wonderful as always) Perseverance map- the "541-542" label is used in two locations.

John

Oops - yes, should be 541 and 542 at the two points. I don't know where that came from. Will fix shortly.

Phil

This is the corrected map. Good job I have an army of proof-readers out there! Corrections are always welcome.

Screen captures of the interactive map: Shows the rover's position after the long drive during sol 555 (219.9 m / 721.47 ft) including an interesting diversion before crossing another TAR, it also shows the location of 'Enchanted Lake' about 20 meters northeast of the rover's sol 555 location. Also shown the helicopters position after flight 31 on sol 550 (97.7 m / 321 ft)

The calculated distance between the two craft is currently 857.7 m / 2814 ft. Communications between the craft remains good with 187 (flight 31) images received from the helicopter after the drive.

Here is a map of the eastern part of future potential traverse paths (white lines) for Perseverance.
Thick contour lines every 10 meters, thin lines every meter. Numbers are sols on the past traverse.
The future potential paths are digitized from the map shown at the NASA press conference on 2022-09-15 .

"Screen captures of the interactive map: Shows the rover's position after the long drive during sol 555 (219.9 m / 721.47 ft) including..." (Paul)

Thanks Paul. Ingenuity has to be the Epic engineering story on Mars. I am astounded that she keeps going since she is a much lighter and simpler mechanism than the Rovers. I would have expected the batteries to have expired by now.

--Bill

"Here is a map of the eastern part of future potential traverse paths (white lines) for Perseverance..." (Tau)

That is a tremendous map format, and especially that it shows potential future paths.

--Bill

Yes, it's a very nice map.

Here is a quick update to the present time showing the latest helicopter flight on sol 561 and a few names which Paul has been helping me track down.
