    NASA’s InSight and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Team Up to Make Science Discovery (Media Briefing)

    Two NASA missions, working in tandem, have made a science discovery on Mars.

    In this briefing, science team members from NASA’s InSight Mars lander and the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) missions will explain how data and images – from the Red Planet’s surface and from above – contributed to the discovery. They will share how the two missions worked together to confirm their observations. There also will be an update on InSight’s solar energy status.

    Participants:

    ● Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, NASA Headquarters
    ● Bruce Banerdt, InSight principal investigator, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory
    ● Liliya Posiolova, MRO, orbital science operations lead at Malin Space Science Systems
    ● Ingrid Daubar, InSight impact science lead, Brown University

    NASA’s InSight Mars Mission: Countdown to T-Zero

    InSight, NASA’s next Mars explorer, has arrived at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California – a big step forward in the countdown to T-zero on May 5, 2018. The spacecraft is called InSight – short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport – and it’s being tested, fueled and encapsulated for launch aboard the powerful United Launch Alliance Atlas V rocket. The upcoming liftoff will mark the first time an interplanetary mission has launched from the West Coast.

    This Week at NASA

    The Morpheus prototype lander took to the skies above the Kennedy Space Center to test a suite of landing and hazard avoidance technology and self-navigate to a safe landing. Over in Hawaii, NASA’s Low-Density Supersonic Decelerator, a rocket-powered, saucer-shaped test vehicle, has completed final assembly and will be flown in an experimental flight test is planned for June. And, NASA is moving ahead with construction of the lander for the InSight mission to Mars where it will probe the Martian sub-surface. An ISS Science Forum took place Wednesday at Johnson Space Center, a Spacex Dragon Cargo craft departed the space station while a new expedition crew trains in Russia and students launch rockets that reach nearly 20,000 feet this week on This Week at NASA!
