These charts are generated from entry frontmatter and cannot diverge from the articles.

Bar length is linear in the value, so small entries appear small. Ingenuity masses 1.8 kg against Curiosity’s 899 kg, and the bars reflect that ratio. The systems table carries the same figures in sortable form.
