perseveration has nowlanded safelyon Mars and the mission squad has been busy testing that the roamer and its flying companion , Ingenuity , are in tops material body . Perseverance has also been meddling sending backsome imagesfrom its contiguous surroundings , and NASA post a phenomenal view of the roamer as it was about to land .
That image show Perseverance still tethered to the sky Harold Hart Crane , about2 meters(6.5 feet ) above the Martian ground – and seemingly , that ’s only the beginning . NASA has announce that footage of the descent will be shown live during a insistency conference on Monday , February 22 at 2 post-mortem ET ( 7 post-mortem UTC ) .
The rover is equipped with23 camerasas well astwo microphones , so it is expected that the footage of its landing might also stop some exciting recordings of the Red Planet . Perseverance will be the first rover to be able to enamor true audio from Mars . This leads us toanother viraland Mars - relate piece of medium from the weekend .
You might have seen a video claiming to be the first one with actual audio frequency from the Red Planet . But unluckily , that isa bit shoddy . The footage is from Mars , free-base on a1.8 billion - pixel panoramicfrom fellow NASA rover Curiosity . A majestic 360 view create with 1,000 pictures of a realm called Glen Torridon , on the side of Mount Sharp , where Curiosity was confabulate in late 2019 .
The new television has an tot audio runway , the origin of which is unclear . It is unquestionably not a recording of what the phone of Mount Sharp are like , but it could be still Mars - relate . Many have noticed the similarities between the audio and the recording of NASA ’s InSight lander ’s Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure ( SEIS ) .
Thesonification of the first possible Marsquakeback in 2019 , with the tremors do by the Martian wind , bears a remarkable law of similarity to the sound in this new viral video . So while the video recording look to be made of real Martian observations , the totality , in this instance , is overselling the sum of its part .
To truly see video and audio recordings from Mars , we will have to wait for Perseverance to be fully operative , so it will need a bit of longanimity on our part . However , NASA is really building up the excitement about the landing television so we might be truly nonplus a multi - sensorial experience of the Red Planet very concisely .
you’re able to assure the resilient conference in the video below :
