EDIT 1: Starship is scrubbed
There are two potential launches today. Starship is always uncertain. Starlink depends on the weather in the recovery area.
News from Mars
The Mars helicopter completed all its missions. Everything else is now bonus. So far, Perseverance's main objective was to observe Ingenuity. Now the mission for the rover starts and the helicopter might help it navigate to interesting spots.
