Artist's Concepts: Earth - Mars - Moon

This infographic shows how InSight uses a seismometer and quakes to study the inner layers of Mars. Seismic signals from quakes change as they pass through different kinds of materials; seismologis...

This is an image taken by an engineering model of NASA’s InSight lander during a rehearsal for instrument deployment in a Mars-like testbed at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California.

This illustration shows a simulated view of NASA's InSight lander kicking up dust as it lands on the Martian surface.

NASA’s InSight mission tests an engineering version of the spacecraft’s robotic arm in a Mars-like environment at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Employees and visitors at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory gather on Nov. 26, 2018, to watch InSight land on Mars.

This image shows InSight's domed Wind and Thermal Shield, which covers its seismometer. The image was taken on the 110th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. The seismometer is called Seismic Exper...
