The InSight lander made it safely through the atmosphere of Mars and touched down on the surface to enable the study of the deep interior of the planet, marking only the eighth time in history that a man-made object has successfully landed on the planet. Once it had landed, InSight sent ...
Unlike all previous Mars missions, which explored the geology, chemistry, and atmosphere of the red planet in great detail, theInterior exploration usingSeismicInvestigations,Geodesy andHeatTransport (InSight) mission is focused on the interior structure and processes of Mars. It is high time to addr...
NASA’s InSight (Interior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission landed in Elysium Planitia on Mars on 26 November 2018. It aims to determine the interior structure, composition and thermal state of Mars, as well as constrain present-day seismicity and impact ...
InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is the first mission dedicated to exploring the deep interior of Mars. 洞察号(InSight)是应用地震研究(Seismic Investigations)、大地测量学(Geodesy)以及传热学(Heat Transport)技术进行(行星)内部探测的单词缩写,...
NASA's InSight mission to Mars is just days away from reaching its destination. On Monday 26, the InSight lander will blaze through the atmosphere of the red planet and land on the surface. Now, the NASA team is making final preparations for the landing.
The InSight mission to Mars landed within Homestead hollow on an Early Amazonian lava plain. The hollow is a 27‐m‐diameter, 0.3‐m‐deep quasi‐circular depression that shares morphologic and sedimentologic characteristics to degraded impact craters. Unlike the intercrater plains out...
NASA has set a new launch opportunity, beginning May 5, 2018, for the InSight mission to Mars. This artist’s concept depicts the InSight lander on Mars after the lander’s robotic arm has deployed a seismometer and a heat probe directly onto the ground. InSight is the first mission dedica...
NASA announced on Tuesday it has suspended the March 2016 launch of its InSight mission to Mars because of problems with a key scientific component. The next launch window will not occur until around May 2018 and the US space agency said it does not yet know if it will be able to continu...
This month, NASA will fire its first interplanetary mission from Vandenberg Air Force Base north of Los Angeles. Why the snub for Cape Canaveral in Florida?
Set to launch in 2016,NASA’s new Discovery-class mission, called InSight, will probeMarsat new depths by looking into the deep interior of Mars using InSight’s Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package. On August 20, NASA announced the selection of InSight, a new Discovery-class mission th...
