The InSight mission is getting hit hard by these storms, it'll probably survive this one but another in quick succession could kill it for good. They only mentioned Ingenuity in the article but I'd be extra worried if we hear bad news about InSight in the near future.
To confirm that she is still flightworthy, we performed a 50-rpm spin on Aug. 6, and on Aug. 15 we performed a high-speed spin, which spun up the rotor system to flight-like speeds of 2,573 rpm for several seconds.
Flight 30 will be shorter, translating sideways only 7 feet (2 meters) and then landing, but with the specific goal of providing a data point on Ingenuity’s ability to accurately approach a landing target.
Sounds like they're confident she will fly, but cautious about landing (and battery charge capabilities).
@wasabipesto that's my take, too. I think I want to wait until flight 31 or 32 to resolve, as right now I don't think they can hold enough charge to run the heaters at night
