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. |

Fascinating Wired article about Jason Achilles Mezilis, a rock musician and space enthusiast who successfully pitched to be hired as a consultant for the Perseverance microphone team. https://www.wired.com/story/musician-who-de...icrophone-mars/
Mezilis was recently selected as PI for an imaging system for moon landers, the Lunar ExoCam project. https://www.space.com/lunar-exocam-landing-...eo-moon-surface. Note for Mods: Previous discussion of Perseverance microphones is distributed among several existing threads, including this one. I chose this one because one of the microphones is designed to record EDL. There is a Tech, General and Imagery subforum for the MER mission.You might at some point consider setting up something similar for the Perseverance science and engineering instruments, so that information doesn’t get lost in what we hope will be a long series of narrative threads.
