LATEST MARS MISSION COULD BE LAST OF ITS KIND FOR YEARS
Unlike the Curiosity rover, which landed on Mars nearly six years ago and is in the process of climbing a mountain in the middle of an ancient crater, InSight is designed to stay in one place after it touches down Nov. 26. Its purpose is to open a new direction in Mars exploration – one that leads straight down as the spacecraft deploys a unique set of instruments to spy on the planet’s interior.“What we will learn … will help us understand the earliest history of rocky planets, including Earth,” Dr. Johnson said.
