NASA, has commissioned many spacecraft to send to Mars to obtain new information. One of them is the preferred choice for the Mars mission. InSight spacecraft it happened. However, according to the latest information, NASA is preparing to say goodbye to this spacecraft. The company announced that the spacecraft will be launched in a few weeks. will come back announced. So what did the InSight spacecraft accomplish during the mission?
The InSight spacecraft has only a few weeks of power left
In late 2018, NASA successfully landed the InSight spacecraft on Mars. Spacecraft to detect seismic activity taking place on Mars seismometer successfully landed on the surface. Afterwards, he started drilling for drilling. However, the spacecraft could not perform these missions it wanted.
During its time on Mars, the InSight spacecraft left several attempts unsuccessfully. The vehicle is particularly close to the surface of Mars. harsh conditions it was insufficient. He also signaled that he had come to the end of his mission due to the decrease in power supply. For this reason, NASA is committed to the spacecraft’s science operations. a few weeks will end within.
Better than Hubble! DAG Telescope gets its huge mirror
The DAG Telescope, located in the Eastern Anatolia Observatory, has received a 4-meter mirror specially brought from Russia.
Nowadays, engineers are trying to ensure that the data collected by the vehicle is not lost. Data collected by the InSight spacecraft, liquid core of Mars, inner layerstoo exhausted magnetic field, variable residues on the surface and weather forecast It gives a lot of information about Apart from this, many with earthquake activity It also provides relevant information.
The spacecraft’s seismometer, France’s CNES (Centre National Etudes Spatiales) provided by. Also, since November 2018, when the vehicle landed More than 1,300 Martian earthquakes managed to detect. The largest earthquake ever detected size 5 took place. In addition, the InSight tool meteoroid It also managed to record earthquakes caused by its effects.
Especially recently, the vehicle’s solar panels, which have been covered with dust, are a regional problem. dust storm faced with. Then the team decided to literally turn off the seismometer to save power. After the storm ended, InSight continued to collect data. Despite this, scientists only a few weeks of strength stated that he has
