ISS had a clear overhead pass last night 20:28. Followed by a clear moon!
Looks like they terminated it just before landing sequence. Surprised they launched with the poor visibility.

I've worked out that at the stated 2400 rpm, the 48" diameter rotor on Ingenuity will have a tip speed of 343mph.
What sort of cameras are they using to achieve this apparently static image, ie no apparent movement-induced blur from root to tip?
(48" diameter x pi is 151" circumference, multiplied by 2400 rotations per minute is 361911 inches per minute tip speed.
361911 / 12 is 30159 feet per minute, /60 is 503 fps, which is 343mph)

Not again. Was looking forward to this later this evening.
