File talk:Location of the base radio station for Ingenuity helicopter at one of the hollows of Perseverance rover.jpg
Rationale for renaming[edit]
Presently existing name
- Mars Helicopter Base Station seen here as the upper, gold-colored box near the back of NASA’s Perseverance rover,25525 PIA23968-1200.jpg
contains "obvious errors in filenames, including ... misidentified objects" (COM:FNC, No.3)
- there is no 'gold-colored box' in the upper part of the hollow. What is seen there, are
(a) a gold-colored box in the bottom, which is not the 'Base Station', and
(b) a piece of a temporary recycable cardboard above, covering the placeholder for that station. - description 'near the back of the rover' misguides, since the rover does not have a back, and this specific hollow is one of the pair of hollows, symmetrically located in the corners of the vehicle and opened from its
sides(not back)
As a result of public complaints to the image and its description, a new picture was added to the description page of the image, where this hollow is encircled in the blue oval. However it does withdraw the main claim, that the Base [radio] Station is not seen in the photo, which was presumably taken before this component was properly mounted onto the rover.
The recent discussion of this subject at nasaspaceflight.com leads to the conclusion that the present picture displays only the placeholder of the device, which either has not been mouted yet or for some reasons was subsequently covered with a temporary cardboard with visible scratches.
All the devices, mounted on the rover, are covered with solid, painted covers with inscriptions - like are seen on the adjacent Rimfax devices. The cardboard does not have such inscriptions.
Based upon the abovesaid, I propose to give this photo the following neutral descriptive name:
- Location of the base radio station for Ingenuity helicopter at one of the hollows of Perseverance rover
