Mars 2020 mission has declared that JPL-provided Entry, Descent, and Landing (EDL) microphones, and a microphone included in the SuperCam science instrument, will soon fly on board their rover. It will be led by Roger Wiens at Los Alamos National Laboratory, in partnership with CNES, the French Space Agency.

Bill Nye, CEO of The Planetary Society, said that we will hear the sounds of Mars finally and asked the public to stay tuned and get ready for their mission.
