NASA is ready to study the

At a press conference on March 30, NASA announced the Mars 'heart' research flight.

The space agency held a press conference at the JPL Engine Laboratory in Pasadena, California, setting out its next mission: heading to the Red Planet.

According to the plan, the mission will begin on May 5. NASA's internal survey has used seismic, metering and thermal ( Insight ) devices, a fixed ground plane. . This will be the first move to explore Mars's deep 'interior' and will also be NASA's first mission since the spacecraft installed a seismograph, a surface-measuring device. Moon.

For Bruce Banerdt, the principal investigator of the experiment, it is also a work that symbolizes love. Banerdt has worked for more than 25 years to make the mission a reality. He said: "In some ways, InSight is like a time machine, it will bring information about the earliest stages of Mars formation 4 billion years ago. It will help us understand. how the rock body forms, including the earth, the moon, and even planets in other solar systems ".

Includes a sensor kit for data collection. Unlike the mission of other aircraft, these devices require an unmanned cargo plane from which they can be carefully placed on and below the surface of Mars. In a sense, Mars is an alien planet next to us. Looking deeply into Mars will allow scientists to understand how different its shell, coating and core are from Earth.

"InSight is a truly international space mission, " said Tom Hoffman, JPL's project manager. "Our partners have provided extremely capable tools to be able to collect unique scientific evidence after we landed."

InSight is currently based at Vandenberg Air Force Base, California and is preparing the final step before launch. On Wednesday, the entire spacecraft will be filmed at high speed to determine the focus of gravity. That is very important for entering, taking off and landing on Mars in November, according to Hoffman. In the next month, the spacecraft will be fitted with missiles, the connections between them will be checked, and the astronauts will undergo the final training.

Mr. Banerdt said: "Next month will be very interesting. We finally have work to do and we are almost ready to go to the Martian land."
