Current event – NASA’s InSight Mars Lander reaches Mars
November 30, 2018
The InSight Mars Lander will complete its over 300 million mile journey today. It is a long seven month voyage from Earth to Mars. There will not be data immediately when it lands around 3:00 pm (EST). It will take two years for the InSight to collect data because it has a burrowing drill as well as a seismograph that will take a long time to collect the data.
