ET) on Nov. 26, 2018. On Nov. 26, NASA's InSight mission knew the spacecraft touched down within an … Since landing, NASA’s largest, most sophisticated Mars rover yet has gone through checks on every system and subsystem and sent back thousands of images from Jezero Crater. InSight Landed on Mars November 26. ET) Or at one of the locations nationwide The process to get from the top of the atmosphere of Mars to the surface we call "entry, descent, and landing" or EDL. So is NASA's InSight lander, although it's hampered by dusty solar panels. Elysium Planitia, a flat-smooth plain just north of the equator makes for the perfect location from which to study the deep Martian interior. The first-of-a-kind clip vividly shows the rover's supersonic parachute inflation over the red planet and a rocket-powered hovercraft lowering the science lab on wheels to the surface. A media teleconference about these sounds will be held today at 12:30 p.m. EST (9:30 a.m. PST). News briefings and launch commentary were streamed on NASA TV, NASA.gov/live, YouTube.com/NASAJPL/live and Ustream.tv/NASAJPL.

The location of the landing site for InSight is indicated on this near-global topographic map of Mars, which also indicates landing sites of current and past NASA missions to the surface of Mars. Scientists are finding new mysteries since the geophysics mission landed two years ago. The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) mission is a robotic lander designed to study the deep interior of the planet Mars.
