"They said the object was a bundle of string that came off the spacecraft when it landed in February 2021. When the rover made its Martian landing using a sky-crane, some hardware was discarded.

The mission's Ingenuity helicopter also sent other detailed photos that show some of the other discarded items, including a parachute."
