I am so enthusiastic about the (proposed) Mars2020 camera suite during EDL, as presented today at IPPW:
- 3 PointGrey Chameleon 3 that will be on the skycrane and look up, to monitor parachute deployment at 150 fps. - 1 GoPro Hero 4 on the skycrane, looking down to monitor the rover descent and landing - 1 GoPro Hero 4 on the rover, looking up to monitor the skycrane and fly-away - 1 GoPro Hero 4 on the rover, looking down like MARDI did on Curiosity - MARDI, of course. All GoPro have microphone that will be activated, and have been tested successfully in the proper thermal and radiative environment. We should have some awsome footage if it actually flies. |

Do you have a published, verified reference for this information, Stratespace? Well, the slides were just presented by JPL minutes earlier at IPPW, I did not expect to be not believed. Sooner or later, the slides will be available...edit: phiew, someone saved me by taking a picture of one of the slides: https://twitter.com/IGerth/status/743103067655114752 For your information, PUC stands for "Parachute Up look Camera", DDC for "Descent Stage down look camera", RUC for "Rover Up look camera" and RDC for "Rover Down look camera". |
