InSight, also known as Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport is a NASA discovery program mission that will place a lander on Mars to study its geophysical conditions. The Lander will have précised geophysical instruments to study parameters like seismic activity, temperature, and reflexes which will be found when the Lander will study the deep interior of the Mars. The importance of these results will not only be limited to the study of the Martian conditions but will also open the secrets about how the terrestrial planets have acquired their geography in due course of time. The lander has been made in association with NASA JPL Laboratory and Lockheed Martini and will be launched in May 2018 from California, USA.
The InSight Probe will be launched via Atlas V 401 launcher and will contain a microchip that will store all the names of participants who have registered their name on NASA’s website. Once registered, one will get a boarding pass which will contain their name, boarding number and other details like the launch site, launch date, etc. The following is how a boarding pass will look like if you send your name to this mission –
As seen above, we can get an idea that the probe will land at ELYSIUM PLANITIA which has also been named as Plain of Ideal Happiness on Mars.
