The Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) is a seismometer and the primary scientific instrument on board the InSight Mars lander launched on 5 May 2018 for a landing on 26 November 2018; the instrument was deployed to the surface of Mars on 19 December.
While probing the internal structure of Mars is the primary scientific goal of the InSight mission, atmospheric science remains a key science objective. [3] InSight will provide a continuous and higher-frequency record of pressure, air temperature and winds at the surface of Mars than previous in situ missions. [3]
Unfortunately, this caused the probe to back out again due to unusual soil properties and low atmospheric pressure. [31] As the probe bounced, loose soil filled the area beneath it and lifted the probe halfway out again. [32] In January 2020, the team used the pinning method again, but once again the probe ejected after the scoop was ...
The breakthrough came nearly five months after InSight, the first spacecraft designed specifically to study the deep interior of a distant world, touched down on the surface of Mars to begin its ...
InSight landed on Mars in 2018 and was the first spacecraft to document a marsquake. It detected more than 1,300 marsquakes with its French-built seismometer, including several caused by meteoroid ...
The breakthrough came five months after InSight, the first spacecraft designed specifically to study the deep interior of a distant world, touched down on the surface of Mars to begin its two-year ...
Insight is the understanding of a specific cause and effect within a particular context. [citation needed] The term insight can have several related meanings:
NASA launched a robotic space lander bound for Mars on Saturday morning, beginning a journey to explore the deep interior of the red planet.
