  • Alabama's aborted execution of inmate was botched, lawyer says

    Alabama's aborted execution was 'botched and bloody,' lawyer says

  • The InSight Lander
This artist's concept shows the InSight lander, its sensors, cameras and instruments.
InSight is will take the first-ever-in-depth look at Mars' "inner space." InSight stands for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport. Its three instruments are a seismometer, a heat flow probe, and a radio science experiment. These instruments will shed light on how warm and geologically active Mars still is, study its reflexes as it whips about in its orbit around the sun, and provide essential clues on the evolution of the rocky planets of our solar system. So while InSight is a Mars mission, it's also more than a Mars mission.
InSight will launch between May 5 through June 8, 2018 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.
JPL, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages the InSight Project for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space, Denver, built the spacecraft.  InSight is part of NASA's Discovery Program, which is managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.
