Opportunity, Curiosity, and Spirit flew to Mars with a state-of-the-art data collection that aims to convey the maximum amount of information to humans. But NASA’s perseverance in exploring Mars, one of the last days of its trip to Mars, is one step ahead. One of the missions undertaken by Perseverance is to inform man of what Mars sounds like.
On July 30, 2020, Perseverance launched from Earth to Mars. Perseverance, which will land in Jazero crater on February 18, 2021, also has two Supercam microphones. The first microphone has two main missions. The first is to record every little sound heard from the surface of Mars. These devices also have the ability to detect where the sound is coming from. Perseverance also plans to pierce the surface of Mars with lasers. The first microphone will also collect sound variations during this time.
The second mission of the microphones is to help the engineering department. The sounds of the spaceship movements are collected and examined. Ground engineers can evaluate wheel motion, etc., from variations in sound.
The second microphone collects and transmits even small sounds at each stage of the mission. This second microphone will record the sounds of the spacecraft landing on Mars, not just during the trip to Mars. During the final stages of the mission to Mars, humans will hear the sound of a parachute deploying from the ground. After landing on Mars, the sound of the wind and other things will be recorded.
Even so, owning one is still out of reach for the average person. This is due to the obvious differences between Earth and Mars. There are indications that the sounds transmitted from Mars, which make up only one percent of Earth’s atmosphere, will not be the same as those heard on Earth. Still, the scientific community is excited to bring the sound of Mars to Earth for the first time.
