Mars Perseverance: What does Mars sound like?

• Perseverance's mission: NASA's Perseverance rover aims to explore the surface of Mars and collect key data to better understand the red planet. To do this, it is equipped with various cutting-edge scientific and technological instruments.
• Perseverance's microphone: One of the novelties of this mission is that Perseverance has a built-in microphone, which will allow us to hear the sounds of the planet Mars for the first time. This microphone will capture ambient sounds and events that occur during the mission.
• What do we expect to hear? Mars is an extremely cold and dry planet, so sounds will not travel the same way as on Earth. However, it is expected to capture various signals, such as the wind blowing on the Martian surface, the sounds produced by the movement of the rover and possible geological events, such as volcanic eruptions or tremors.
• Why is it important to listen to the sound of Mars? Listening to the sound of Mars will allow us to have a better understanding of the environment in which Perseverance is located and will give us additional information about the atmosphere and environmental conditions of the red planet. In addition, we will also be able to compare these sounds with those on Earth and make interesting discoveries.
• Audio transmission: NASA plans to share audio recordings from Perseverance's microphone on its website and social platforms. This will allow us to hear first-hand the sounds of Mars and participate in this exciting space exploration.
