NASA's InSightlander reached Mars four years ago and has been working to gather data about the red planet's interior. But the mission will soon come to an end.
NASA’s InSight Mars lander reached the red planet four years ago and has worked well beyond the two years originally set for the mission. But in the coming weeks or perhaps months, the lander will make its final communications with Earth before falling silent for the rest of time.
Managing power Managing InSight’s diminishing power levels has become more important recently as the team is keen to make the most of the lander in its final months. “The lander data has yielded details about Mars’ interior layers, its liquid core, the surprisingly variable remnants beneath the surface of its mostly extinct magnetic field, weather on this part of Mars, and lots of quake activity,” the team said.
