  "definition": "The Mars Science Laboratory Entry, Descent and Landing Instrumentation, a set of sensors built into the heat shield of the Curiosity entry vehicle to record how it flew through the Martian atmosphere. Seven thermal plugs measured heat shield temperatures and material recession, and seven pressure ports measured air pressure on the surface, from which atmospheric density and aerodynamic behavior were reconstructed. A follow-on suite, MEDLI2, added backshell sensors on the Perseverance entry vehicle.",
