Proposal: The SuperCam on the Mars rover is an amazing piece of technology that will help its researchers identify important characteristics of Mars. Along with its many imaging tools, it contains an implemented microphone to record the sounds of its adjusted laser digging into the Mars terrain. In our project, we could analyze the audio data gathered by the SuperCam to see if we can learn more about Mars Rocks. The results from this project could prove useful as they could be used to learn more about Mars, its terrain, and mineralogy. We plan to continue using a previous project one of the members has worked on to analyze sound files. By using the existing code as a basis and building upon it, we can look at the data and information gathered from the sound files and see if we can learn from it. Using existing code to process Mars audio, we will make Fourier spectrums of the data to see the frequencies change based on the rock/location. We will also use Github for the Mars audio. Currently, we have done the research and we have a piece of code (mentioned before). We have all of our data in a google drive including our research from the Perseverance Rovers Supercam.
