The probe "Insight"
NASA President Jim Brydenstein has released a video of the first recorded wind in March, followed by the recently launched Insight Probe.
"Never heard of the wind on Mars, and now listen to the sounds of Mars recorded by the NASA spacecraft," wrote Brydenstein via his Twitter account.
NASA's "Insight" spacecraft landed on Mars on Monday, Nov. 26, at the start of a two-year mission, as the first spacecraft designed to study the depths of another world.
The descent is the culmination of a six-month trip after the probe sank a distance of 548 million kilometers from Earth, starting in California in May.
The probe carries equipment for monitoring temperature and earthquakes on Mars, which have never been measured outside the Earth, and has penetrated the atmosphere of the probe on Mars at 19 775 km / h.
However, its speed on its path to the surface of the planet, about 124 km, has been reduced by friction with the atmosphere, a canopy and giant brake rockets.
The Insight will spend 24 months, the equivalent of a year of March, to take seismic and thermal measurements to better understand how Mars, the origin of the Earth and of the Earth. other rocky planets form the inner solar system.
The 360-kilogram probe is the 21st American country to explore Mars: the United States began its first flights to Mars in the 1960s, while other countries launched about 24 flights on the planet.
