Voici la Highbay du In-Situ Instrument Laboratory, où sont reproduites les conditions martiennes d'éclairement et de nature du régolithe (la Sandbox). C'est là que les ingés ont déversé des kg de poudre pour reproduire et résoudre l'enlisement d'Opportunity dans une dune. 20/37

NASA InSight-studie vindt dat Mars sneller draait

Wetenschappers hebben de meest nauwkeurige metingen ooit gedaan van de rotatie van Mars, voor het eerst detecterend hoe de planeet wiebelt als gevolg van het “klotsen” van zijn gesmolten metalen kern.

Zhurong ziet mogelijk bewijs voor vloeibaar water op Mars

Gehydrateerde duinen suggereren dat er op sommige delen van het oppervlak van Mars water kan vorkomen, dit volgens gegevens van de nu defecte Chinese rover Zhurong.

Wat is er gebeurd met de Chinese Marsrover Zhurong? Het apparaat had al weken geleden uit zijn winterslaap moeten komen, maar tot nu toe geeft de rover nog geen teken van leven. Het Chinese ruimtevaartagentschap houdt zich stil over de status van het Marswagentje.

Goodbye sweet #insightlander You were a wonderful little probe who opened our understanding of Mars in a new and beautiful way. No longer is it just a dead world, but a living dynamic planet. When humanity comes together we can produce some of the most incredible things and push ourselves further than ever before; let's push ourselves forward and finally touch the stars. #colonizespace #lowearthdevelopment #mars

WRITER FUEL: Twilight is closing in on NASA's Mars InSight lander — a robotic seismology lab that has been studying the interior workings of the Red Planet since November 2018.

NASA confirmed it was unable to contact the Mars InSight lander (opens in new tab) on two consecutive attempts, ending the four-year mission on the planet's surface.

Things have to end at some point... 😞😮‍💨

NASA's InSight lander that surveyed Mars for any quakes, weather temps and more... for 4 years is over.

Connection has been lost, due to dust buildup on solar panels, cutting off power.

Thank you InSight for wonderful memories! Certainly it was fun knowing how "alive" Mars is. #NASA #insightlander

Q#1) How much more usefulness could NASA's #InsightLander provide if battery/solar power wasn't an issue?

Q#2) Why does #NASA still not put even a rudimentary/simple brush to clear dust off the solar panels into modern missions?

The largest #earthquake, or #marsquake, ever detected on #Mars has revealed layers in its crust that could indicate past collision with a massive object, such as a #meteoroid. Previous data has suggested the past occurrence of a large impact, and the findings offer evidence that might support this hypothesis. #InSightlander #seismology #geology #space #scicomm

"A trio of papers published Thursday in the journal Science, using data InSight has collected, reveals the red planet to be something like a colossal candy treat imagined by a ravenous deity. Its crust is split into two or three layers of volcanic chocolate. The mantle below has a surprisingly sizable and rigid toffee-like filling. And the planet’s core is surprisingly light — less nougaty center, more syrupy heart."
