Artist's Rendition Of The Insight Lander. Key Ring

Artist's rendition of the InSight lander. InSight is short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport. InSight is a Mars mission, but it's more than a Mars mission. The lander seeks the fingerprints of the processes that formed the rocky planets of the solar system, more than 4 billion years ago. It measures the planet's vital signs, its pulse (seismology), temperature (heat flow) and reflexes (precision tracking).
