The sounds are of exceptional quality. It is hard to believe that we will be able to scientifically analyze the first sounds ever recorded on the surface of Mars, said scientist Naomi Murdoch.

NASA is a rover Perseverance sent Mars and started receiving the first data recorded by his device from him a few days ago SuperCam. Among these first data is also an extraordinary recording of the sound of the surface, which is exactly as we all imagined it. Definitely different from the sound we are used to on Earth.

Rover Perseverance analyzes the geological structure of Mars in five different ways, which will help scientists choose rocks from which the rover will later take samples to search for microbial life, or evidence of the existence of life. The rover will also experimentally test the production of oxygen from the Martian atmosphere in preparation for future crews of the mission.

Perseverance is primarily intended to explore the Jezero crater on Mars as part of the NASA Mars 2020 mission. Confirmation that the rover had successfully landed on Mars was received on February 18, 2021 at 20:55 UTC. As of March 11, 2021, Perseverance has been on Mars for a good 20 sols, or 21 Earth days.

Perseverance has a similar design to its predecessor, the Curiosity rover, but is vastly upgraded. It has seven primary instruments, 19 cameras and two microphones. The rover also houses the Ingenuity, or Ginny, mini-helicopter, which will be the first test flight of another flying object on another planet.
