NASA's Mars mission was delayed for another 2 years

There is no official information on whether or not NASA will completely cancel the mission, or just delay the mission until 2018.

The incident leaked at a vacuum sphere in SEIS seismic device, one of the two basic scientific devices in the mission of exploring Mars, which prompted NASA to delay the geological exploration project by ship. InSight (Interior exploration using Seismology, Geodesy, and Heat Transfer) for another 2 years, until 2018, instead of deploying the launch program in March 2016 as expected.

Destiny to discover Mars was delayed until 2018.

Those who discovered this incident were technicians of the French Space Agency (CNES). Even though the engineering team tried hard to fix the leak, NASA has now admitted all attempts have failed. Therefore, the mission of NASA's next Mars probe was stopped. There is no official information on whether or not NASA will completely cancel the mission, or just delay the mission until 2018.

Under the plan, the InSight ship will be equipped with four main measuring tools including: SEIS seismic meter - recording seismic activities to study the structure and structure of Mars, HP3 thermal current probe - measure the heat of Mars and determine the temperature history on the Red Planet, the RISE stratigraphic research device - exploit the Doppler effect on the interactions of radio waves that communicate with the Earth to determine the state physics of the Mars core, and finally the technical inspection camera after landing , assisting the control system in equipment deployment, and providing wide-angle images of the landing area.

John Grunsfeld, director of NASA's research programs division, made a statement at a recent Washington press conference: "Even though we have made great technical and scientific progress, as well as careful preparation, the cosmic environment has no room for errors, so on behalf of NASA, I regret to declare that 2016 is not a mature opportunity, though I and colleagues will try their best to realize their dream of setting foot on Mars. "

InSight is NASA's 12th mission mission.

InSight is NASA's 12th mission mission and is considered to be the " most affordable" investment project with a total capital of only 425 million USD. InSight's design, developed based on the Phoenix, landed successfully on Mars in 2007. The InSight project attracted the participation of many units such as the Jet Propulsion (JPL) Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) laboratory. in Pasadena, Califronia with the National Space Research Center (CNES) of France and the German Aeronautics Center (DLR).
