Exploration using Seismic Investigations

“My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send,” the team wrote on InSight’s behalf. “Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will — but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.”

Data from InSight — a convoluted acronym that stands for Interior Geodesy and Heat Transport — has allowed researchers to probe the martian mantle and learn more about its temperature and its mineralogical structure, CBS News’ Bill Harwood reported.

“InSight has transformed our understanding of the interiors of telegram database rocky planets and set the stage for future missions,” Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, said in a statement. “We can apply what we’ve learned about Mars’ inner structure to Earth, the moon, Venus and even rocky planets in other solar systems.”

NASA still has two active rovers on Mars: Curiosity, roaming the surface since 2012, and Perseverance, which arrived early last year.

Perseverance is in the midst of creating a sample depot; the plan is to leave 10 tubes of rock cores on the Martian surface as a backup to samples on the rover itself. NASA plans to bring some of these samples back to Earth in a decade, in its longtime search for signs of ancient microscopic life on Mars.

Perseverance also has a companion: a mini helicopter named Ingenuity. It just completed its 37th flight and has now logged more than an hour of Martian flight time.
