This made me wonder why Opportunity doesn't have the same problem (answer: it uses solar panels), after a couple of clicks on wikipedia I found this awesome visualization of Huygen landing on Titan! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Huygens_descent.ogg https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Huygens_descent.ogg
- PhasmaFelis 11y agoThat's an unsung triumph of data presentation. I've watched it a couple of times, and it's amazing how much information it presents clearly and at the same time. My favorite thing is how it uses multiple sound channels to allow a knowledgeable listener to monitor multiple telemetry streams at once by sound alone. I also love that space computers are finally beeping like sci-fi always said they should. :D
- rtkwe 11y agoOh, yeah, I probably should have mentioned that it was because of the solar panels. I've never seen that visualization. That's so much data but still really easy to figure it out and track, thanks!
