If you read the comment from the NASA about the 8th flight of Ingenuity:
<
https://mars.nasa.gov/technology/helicopter/status/308>
you understand that there was no color camera acquisition for the 7th
and the 8th flight on Mars. This was due to the incident on the 6th
flight, and a conflict between acquisition of the two embedded cameras.
Let's hope for subsequent flights of the helicopter, that NASA has fixed
the horodating problem. Let's hope we will have a color video from Mars.
