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. |

I know this is an old thread, but I was wondering if the video from the EDL cameras will be compressed before being sent to Earth like the first images from Curiosity's MARDI camera were compressed as the bandwidth was limited in the early days after landing. Does anyone know if Mars Odyssey and MRO will be in position to receive signals from Perseverance on landing day?

Does anyone know if Mars Odyssey and MRO will be in position to receive signals from Perseverance on landing day? Regardless of phasing, there are typically two passes per day per orbiter (see https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/2014/44382 ) and MAVEN and perhaps TGO will also be available, but there's usually some uncertainty about the performance of early relay ops. From the April 2020 MRO status for MEPAG https://mepag.jpl.nasa.gov/meeting/2020-04/...202020_post.pdf QUOTE Cover mission critical events at Mars: Mars 2020 EDL in 2021 As for data return from the EDL cameras, that will probably be discussed in the pre-landing press kit and press conference. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only.
