Based on the valuable scientific contributions microphones have made aboard the Perseverance Mars rover, it's time to turn up the volume on microphones for extra-planetary exploration.
Scientists can harness sound on other worlds to learn about properties that might otherwise require a lot of expensive equipment, like the chemical composition of rocks, how atmospheric temperature changes, or the roughness of the ground. Extraterrestrial sounds could also be used in the search for life. Timothy G. Leighton from the University of Southampton has designed a software program that produces extraterrestrial environmental sounds and predicts how human voices might change in distant worlds. He will demonstrate his work at the upcoming 184th ASA Meeting.
After the Perseverance rover landed on Mars in February 2021, scientists received a unique opportunity to study various aspects of the red planet, including. 28.05.2022, Sputnik International
For the past year, NASA's Mars rover has been capturing ambient sounds on Mars, and scientists have whittled the recordings down to a five-hour "Martian playlist" brought to you by DJ Perseverance.
