The more flights it takes, the more we learn about the Martian landscape brother Sgt (Join to see)

Sounds like one of those evolving missions. Makes total sense, send out a scout to plan your route.

I doubt that was the goal or plan before Ingenuity successfully flew on Mars... But it has proven to be pretty darn reliable and they are now using it as a tool to maximize "Percy's" mission capabilities...

Sgt (Join to see) As a former military planner the plan is good until about one second after it is implemented. After that you adapt and attempt to make the mission successful however you can.
