I wonder if it is feasible to fly the copter over older rovers on Mars, and use the downward thrust to blow the dust off of their solar cells and see if they can be charged up again.
I don't think they've landed near enough for Ingenuity to be able to reach them.
Also the onboard components might be damaged by now due to radiations and the very low temps.
I don't know the life cycle of satellites, but there are probably some that have been around for decades in a much colder environment with a lot more radiation, so there could be a good chance that the equipment could work again on Mars, if the rover and copter ever make their way far enough over to the other rovers to try it out.
with a lot more radiation
They are protected by Earth's Van Allen radiation belt.
Mars has one but it's very weak.
