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.

Thanks. That was a really good read.

That was a really good read.

We weren't that happy with it, since it's a whole lot of different stuff roughly stitched together and sort of veers between topics. But it didn't make sense to write separate papers either and it gets the basics across.

You'll note that the Gopros considered originally didn't make the cut, but I know nothing about what the story is with that -- all I worked on was LCAM.
