Показать описание
NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) lander successfully touched down on the Red Planet after an almost seven-month, 300-million-mile (458-million-kilometer) journey from Earth.

"We hit the Martian atmosphere at 12,300 mph (19,800 kilometers per hour), and the whole sequence to touching down on the surface took only six-and-a-half minutes," said InSight project manager Tom Hoffman at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "During that short span of time, InSight had to autonomously perform dozens of operations and do them flawlessly – and by all indications that is exactly what our spacecraft did."

InSight will operate on the surface for one Martian year, plus 40 Martian days, or sols, until Nov. 24, 2020. The mission objectives of the two small MarCOs which relayed InSight's telemetry was completed after their Martian flyby.

I love the guys reaction at 1:10. He's reading data that the craft has landed. But doesn't wanna jump the gun before everyone else gets confirmation.

Just like the others before it; this is history. It’s cool to be alive to see so many robots land on Mars.

Great job on the landing, and on this recap vid. I just missed watching the live landing today but joined in before the first pic from the lander arrived. Good times. Big Congrats to all the planners, engineers, and staff to make this a success. Best of luck with the ongoing science activities. And again, thanks for the great recap vid!

I just saw an applauding group of people.
Some cgi video, and a suspense music.



Great job.

Still awesome that we can not only hit a 'tiny' planet, but successfully land on its surface! Good work, JPL!

People crying about CGI somehow expected there would be a drone cameraship following InSight to get actual live footage of the landing.

To think traveling across a continent once took longer than it takes us to get to Mars.
