NASA’s Perseverance Captures Video, Audio of Fourth Ingenuity Flight

For the first time, a spacecraft on another planet has recorded the sounds of a separate spacecraft. A new video combines footage of the solar-powered helicopter taken by Perseverance’s Mastcam-Z imager with audio from a microphone belonging to the rover’s SuperCam laser instrument.
The instrument’s microphone records the sounds of those laser strikes, which provide information on the physical properties of the targets, such as their relative hardness.
