    serviced for the Mars 'Ingenuity' Mars Helicopter, Flight Cancelled due to a servo motor anomaly,
    Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Cancelled Pasadena CA 17-September-2022.
    On September 18 a flight attempt at a faster rotor spin rate of 2700 rpm was automatically canceled due to a servo motor anomaly. Three days earlier, September 15, Ingenuity successfully ground tested a rotor spin rate of 2800 rpm. Servo motor "wiggle" tests were done on September 21 and 23 to diagnose the problem that prevented flight. More ground tests and another flight attempt were postponed until after solar conjunction. Then, on October 21, NASA/JPL reported a successful 50 rpm ground test. Ingenuity made its 14th flight three days later.
