Johnny Karlsson Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 "NASA’s Mars 2020 Rover is taking off on July 30, 2020 for a seven-month journey to the mysterious Red Planet. It is planned to touch down on February 18, 2021. To gain some insights into the soundscape in the Martian atmosphere, the Mars 2020 Rover will be outfitted with audio equipment from DPA Microphones. For most of the journey, the audio equipment will be dormant but once the Rover reaches the Martian atmosphere, the mics will allow Earth to experience the sounds of the descent." I wonder... how's the range on that wireless...? lol Link to full article: https://www.dpamicrophones.com/nasa?utm_medium=email&utm_source=mailchimp&utm_campaign=rover-launch&utm_term=subscribers&utm_content=button&ct=t(WW-NASA-4006-launch-July-29)&mc_cid=c22dbb7214&mc_eid=34f267384f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton Patterson Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 The interface look's cool. Perfect size for a spaceship! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 NASA chose well to maximize small size while keep quality high. Wonder what they're doing for environmental/wind protection of the mics? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olle Sjostrom Posted July 30, 2020 Report Share Posted July 30, 2020 I'm surprised they didn't consult -us- before they decided on what mics to use on a space mission! I mean I'd give the advice to rent a local sound mixer or MKH mics... Jokes aside: AWESOME! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that nothing special, the membranes of these mics are made from nickel and tested in factory at 150 Cº for aging https://www.bksv.com/media/doc/Bp0100.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
