While NASA\u2019s Perseverance rover<\/a> is still chugging along, the InSight Mars lander may have just sent its final Tweet after months of low power due to dust covering its solar panels. Fortunately, its time on the Red Planet has been both productive and serene, so unless a gust of wind suddenly clears off the pair of 7-foot solar panels, it will be the last we hear from this probe.<\/p>\n

It successfully landed at Elysium Planitia on November 26, 2018 and was active on Mars for 1440 sols (1480 days; 4 years, 19 days). NASA\u2019s main objectives for this robotic lander objectives were to place a Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) on the Martian surface to measure seismic activity and provide accurate 3D models of the planet\u2019s interior. This data provides new understanding of how the Solar System\u2019s terrestrial planets \u2013 Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars \u2013 and Earth\u2019s Moon formed and are continuing to evolve.<\/p>\n
