The Insight landed successfully today at 4:54 in the equatorial apartment located near the Equator, called "Elysium Plains".
On May 5, Insight, launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base (West), arrived in Mars 206 days after traveling 482 million kilometers.
After pbading through the atmosphere of Mars, the Insight managed to reduce to zero the speed of 19,800 km / h using an inverted engine and a parachute.
Insight plans to install a seismic system on the surface of Mars with a robotic arm and accurately measure the tremor to get clues about the nuclear nature of Mars.
The robotic arm will take two to three months to completely install the exploration equipment. Meanwhile, we will collect photos of the visible Mars surface through the lens.
