The NASA rover has been collecting and transmitting for the duration of its work on Mars since February 2021. So, for example, on September 27 last year, it recorded the eerie sound of a Martian dust storm.
We are talking about an energy whirlwind, in Russian-speaking countries they are called “dust devils”. According to the owls of the scientist-panetologist Naomi Murdoch, OA and her colleagues heard the gifts of individual particles oorps msorkl
Martian dust is a very important factor to consider when planning missions to this planet. Dust storms on Mars produced heat shields, scientific equipment, parachutes and led to the creation of spacecraft solar panels.
According to scientists, the whirlwind that covered Perseverance was about 25 m wide and 118 m high. Rover’s microphone recorded a short pause at the moment when he was in the epicenter of the “dust devil”.
Persistence also managed to make several innovations before the storm began. The recording itself is about three minutes long. Each month, the rover is fixed on eight observed “dusty” episodes, for which it is investigated in the control center, especially by listening to the cameras and microphones of the rover, directing them to where the next vortex is most likely to occur.
