Approximate locations of Perseverance rover and its sidekick Ingenuity helicopter during Sol 1250 (August 26, 2024). The view is looking due west, and shows the rover climbing up towards the crater rim after completing science activities in Neretva Vallis. The location of the helicopter is shown in final resting place after flight 72.

point-to-point 1419.73 meters (using the coordinates), but a tad further as the rover is climbing the rim now.

The rover is now 101.06 meters higher than the rover and that adds 0.27 meters to the point to point distance which is 1420.0 meters :)
