The InSight probe, which landed on Mars earlier this week, recorded the sound of what we might call the Martian winds.
Two very sensitive sensors on the ship detected the vibrations caused by the wind.
The seismograph will then be pressed on the Martian surface to study the vibrations coming from the interior of the planet, thus allowing to know in detail its composition and its dynamics.
See the NASA video with the "sounds" of Mars (the sound itself, very subtle, appears in the second 35, the sound of the second 58 is presented in two octaves above, becoming more obvious) .
The mission is managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), a center in Pasadena, California, which is developing unmanned missions for NASA, such as the latest Curiosity jeep to land on Mars in 2012. [19659002] The name InSight is an acronym for Inland Exploration using seismic surveys, geodesy and heat transport, or, in free translation, inland exploration using seismic, geodetic and thermal transport surveys. The launch took place on May 5th and the probe took 7 months to reach the red planet
