InSight Mars Lander is a NASA mission “designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough checkup since it formed 4.5 billion years ago. It is the first outer space robotic explorer to study in-depth the “inner space” of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.” – NASA | Mars InSight Mission.
InSight will be landing on Mars on Nov. 26, 2018, at 3:00 p.m. ET (12:00 p.m. PT).
