“I’m not the first person to have the idea of capturing the sound on the surface of Mars,” Mezilis admits to Output. People have been kicking around the idea for over 20 years. Back in 1996, Carl Sagan wrote a letter to NASA urging the agency to put a microphone on its next lander. “Even if only a few minutes of Martian sounds are recorded from thi...
Every bit of equipment added to a thing launched into space has consequences. It takes up physical space, adds weight, requires additional fuel, and introduces more variables for things to go wrong. The rover’s job is to collect samplesand it was already packed with everything from a drill to a core-sampling mechanism. So, that NASA chose to includ...

We needed a real high dynamic range and good frequency response.” DPA’s MMC4006 mic fits all the specs needed. Not only is it minuscule — about a half-inch wide — it has a ...
