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. |

In answer to a question posed above about EDL data relay: MRO looks like it will be doing this.
MRO: Providing radar 3D subsurface mapping of ice deposits and imagery and spectroscopy of surface features and weather; also supporting landing site assessments. Developing “Bent Pipe Communications” in support of Mars 2020 landing. Will continue to serve as major relay asset for surface missions (Curiosity, InSight, Perseverance, ExoMars). This is from this recent report: https://www.lpi.usra.edu/pac/presentations/...0PACNov2020.pdf Phil -------------------- ... because the Solar System ain't gonna map itself.
