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. |

A microphone, at last! http://www.planetary.org/blogs/bruce-betts...es-on-mars.html
Mounted on the camera, for scientific purposes (to listen to the cracking noise from the laser), though I'm glad whatever the reason! |
