Juliet Page, a physical scientist with the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center, calibrates a microphone station during the Carpet Determination in Entirety Measurements, or CarpetDIEM, flight series at NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California. The array featured high-fidelity microphones arranged in several configurations, giving researchers the ability to obtain accurate sound data and assess the loudness of the sonic booms, just as they will measure the quiet sonic thumps from the X-59.
