back to back videos of the same flight, each video was recorded by the left and right MastCam-Z cameras at different zoom levels. Watch until the end :) Credits: NASA/JPL-Caltech/ASU/MSSS/James Sorenson
THIS is cool!! Too bad the microphones weren’t recording too! (Are they even still functional?)
The mics are still sending back data from time to time
They may have been on, we don’t know at this stage
Also we don’t get the sound files as quickly as we get images.
It is posible that JPL will do an official video and include the sound files :) Watch this space
If we have to wait for the sound files, they will be in a future PDS release (about 6 months from now)
