NASA's Mars Mission | InSight
InSight is a NASA robotic lander designed to study the interior of Mars through Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport.
The InSight mission launched on May 5, 2018, at 11:05:01 UTC aboard an Atlas V-401 launch vehicle and successfully landed at Elysium Planitia on Mars on November 26, 2018, at 19:52:59 UTC. InSight halted its mission on November 21, 2022, due to its solar batteries running out of energy.
InSight has been on Mars for 1480 days (4 years, 19 days).
InSight is equipped with a seismometer called the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) to help detect seismic activity such as earthquakes or meteorite impacts. InSight is also equipped with a thermal and physical properties probe called HP3 to dig 5 meters into Mars to take the temperature of the red planet at different depths.
The data collected by InSight has practical implications. Knowing the inner workings of Mars helps us compare that to how the Earth works, which gives us a comprehensive view of how other terrestrial planets formed.
Mars Facts
- Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos.
- The size of the star flower is half of the Earth and twice the size of the moon.
- If you weigh 100 lbs on Earth, you weigh only 38 lbs on mars.
- A day on Mars is just as long as Earth, but a Martian year equals 687 earth days (almost equal to two earth years).
- Can contain more than six mars on the Earth.
- The mass of Mars is only 1/10 of the mass of the Earth.
- Gravity on Mars is only 0.375 times that of Earth. This allows you to jump higher and farther.
