Hear a sound bite from NASA's Perseverance as it travels along the final frontier - Chron
You can now hear a sound bite from NASA's Perseverance as it travels along the final frontier.
A first of its kind, NASA's Mars 2020 Perseverance was rigged with microphones to capture sounds of the spacecraft as it hurtled through space. The 60-second audio file was captured on Oct. 19, according to NASA.
"As great as it is to pick up a little audio on spacecraft operations in-flight, the sound file has a more important meaning," Dave Gruel, lead engineer for Mars 2020's EDL Camera and Microphone subsystem said. "It means that our system is working and ready to try to record some of the sound and fury of a Mars landing."
