On a Mission: Season 4, Episode 8: How To Drive A Mars Rover

Before a rover can make tracks on Mars, it first has to rocket off Earth, speed through space, and then alight gently on the planet’s surface. Al Chen and Swati Mohan guide us through the many stages of a rover’s flight to Mars.

Leisure Time

I recorded a little improvisation I did on the piano this morning.
All sounds are created using an e-bow circuit machine built in collaboration with Jan Bernstein and Mickey van Olst, with the support of Villa Médicis. No electronics, no amplification, what you hear is simply the vibration of the piano strings.

Improvisation with my e-bow circuit machine (13 December 2019)

It's a beautiful morning on the border between South Africa and Botswana as an unbelievably varied dawn chorus resonates in through dry riverbed. Recorded with Sennheiser DMS and Sound Devices 633. More recordings from Southern Africa at https://mindful-audio.com/southern-african-ambience/

It's early morning at a dry riverbed in the Borneo rainforest. Gentle fog drip creates a subtle drawn-out rhythm while the calls of insects provide a monotonous backdrop. Long version at https://youtu.be/tfP38CFtGOk

Sir David Attenborough Observes A Natural World In Crisis

Between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter is a mysterious dwarf planet called Ceres. Its surface is dark and muddy, but has hundreds of patches of bright material. The salt-covered dome and other bright features in Occator Crater are so reflective that they looked like flashlights in distant images. NASA’s Dawn spacecraft got a close look, and pointed scientists to the idea that liquid brine has come up from the interior of Ceres, forming the Occator dome and other bright features. Ceres’ crust also contains a significant amount of ice. Astrobiologist Britney Schmidt discusses the implications, as well as her fieldwork in Antarctica.

Baptiste Chide, post-doctoral researcher in planetary science at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and a contributor to the SuperCam microphone, explains a difference between sound on Earth and Mars.

Transcript: “All sounds will be quieter on Mars. About 20 decibels lower compared to the same sound played on Earth. For example, the normal conversation on Earth would sound like whispers on Mars.

Differences Between Sounds on Earth and Mars

Hello, we’re NASA. You may have seen our astronauts, rocket launches, or Mars rovers — but have you heard our sounds?
