The American space agency NASA released on Monday the first sound from Mars, a slight wind sound caught by the Perseverance rover.
NASA also released the first video with the arrival of the rover on the red planet.
A microphone stopped working during the descent, but the rover managed to pick up the sound once it was stopped at the surface.
NASA engineers have played a small audio clip that they say responds to a gust of wind on Mars.
On the other hand, the video, which lasts 3 minutes and 25 seconds, shows the deployment of the parachute and the contact of the vehicle with the surface of the planet.
“These are truly amazing videos,” Michael Watkins, director of NASA’s jet propulsion laboratory, said in a conference call with reporters.
“This is the first time we’ve managed to capture an event like the arrival on Mars.”
Jessica Samuels, the manager of the Perseverance mission on the Martian surface, said that the rover is working as expected.
“I am happy to report that perseverance is in good health.”
