InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to study the 'inner space' of Mars: its crust, mantle, and core.

The camera's transparent dust cover is still on in this image, to prevent particulates kicked up during landing from settling on the camera's lens. This image was relayed from InSight to Earth via NASA's Odyssey spacecraft, currently orbiting Mars. EPA/NASA HANDOUT HANDOUT EDITORIAL USE ONLY

Nella serata di ieri è iniziata una nuova avventura sul pianeta rosso, quando il modulo di atterraggio (lander) ha dispiegato le sue tre zampe e dopo aver fatto una giravolta per mettersi in posizione, ha toccato il suolo alle 20.54. Dopo la distruzione nell’impatto con il suolo marziano del lander Schiaparelli, Insight ha superato tutte le tappe e ora si trova a operare su Marte  insieme ad altri due veicoli entrambi della Nasa: Curiosity, arrivato nel 2012, e Opportunity, del 2004. L’obiettivo è studiare ancor meglio la geologia e i terremoti del pianeta rosso. (foto Ap)
