Former Chilean president Sebastián Piñera died Tuesday in a helicopter crash, local media reported.

The accident occurred on Chilean Lake Ranco, leaving one dead and three injured, according to local sources. Piñera, 74, held the presidency of the South American country in the periods 2010-2014 and 2018-2022.

The Navy and the National Disaster Prevention and Response Service reported that one person was killed and three injured in the incident, which took place at Lago Ranco. However, no further official details were provided about the episode, according to BBC World.

Piñera, one of the richest men in Chile, is so far the only leader of the liberal center-right in the southern country who has managed to win the presidency of the Republic. During his tenure, he alternately shared power with Socialist President Michelle Bachelet.

NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter covered its thirteenth successful flight on Mars this September 5, exploring future targets of interest to the Perseverance rover from the air.

Ingenuity, the world’s first controlled flight powered aircraft, imaged southwesterly crossing the area known as Seitah to explore an area of ​​outcrops that were glimpsed in images in the opposite direction of Flight 12.

The photo taking focused on one particular ridge and its outcrops. For higher resolution, Ingenuity flew 8 meters high, as opposed to 12 meters in the previous flight.

The images overlaid from a lower altitude should provide valuable information for Perseverance scientists and rover tour planners, according to mission officials.

This Flight 13 covered about 210 meters in about 161 seconds, flying at 3.3 meters per second. With the 10 images from this 12th flight, the helicopter has already taken 72 color images of 13-megapixel  and 1,390 black and white navigation camera images.
