Insight Lander

Insight Lander is a robotic spacecraft designed by NASA to explore Mars. It gently lands on the Martian surface to study the planet’s interior, climate, and geology. Using specialized instruments, it measures seismic activity (marsquakes), analyzes soil and rocks, and gathers data about the planet’s composition. This information helps scientists understand Mars’s past, its interior structure, and whether the planet ever had conditions suitable for life. The lander operates on solar power and communicates with Earth to send back valuable scientific findings, advancing our knowledge of the Red Planet.
