InSight Mars Lander
Operated from November 2018 to December 2022. NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport mission studied Mars' interior structure. InSight detected over 1,300 marsquakes, deployed the first seismometer on another planet, and provided unprecedented data about Mars' core, mantle, and crust before power loss ended the mission.
Mission Objectives
- Study interior structure of Mars
- Detect and characterize marsquakes
- Measure heat flow from planet interior
- Study planet's rotation and wobble
- Investigate impact rate on Mars surface
