• Bannerdt explained that when you run out of power, you lose "NASA" Connect to the vehicle.
• Added in the statements a"Reuters": "Insight has succeeded beyond my expectations. We determined the thickness of the crust, the size and density of the inner core, and the details of the structure of the outer surface. For the first time, we have a detailed and comprehensive map of the deep interior of another planet, other than Land and the moon".
The mission was to continue "Intuition"which helped reveal the internal structure of Mars and its seismic activity, for two years, but has been extended to 4.
revealed "Intuition" this also Mars Seismically active, 1318 earthquakes were detected.
Two articles were published in the journal "science" Details on the meteorite hits on the surface of Mars that I discovered "Intuition" In September and December of last year, the seismic waves of the strikes revealed new details about the structure of the crust of Mars and the outer layer of the planet.
Among the objects of particular interest was a space rock between 5 and 12 meters in diameter, which crashed last December 24 in an area called Amazonis Planetia, where it dug a hole 150 meters wide and 21 meters deep.
Similar huge objects enter the Atmosphere Earth has about once a year, but it generally burns in the dense atmosphere of our planet.

What did NASA say?
• In a press conference, Bruce Banerdt, planetary physicist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the principal investigator of the “Insight” mission, said that dust is accumulating on the solar panels that bring energy to the spacecraft and that “the situation is exacerbated by sand stormthat drains its batteries.
• Bannerdt explained that when the current runs out, NASA will lose contact with the spacecraft.
• He added in statements to “Reuters”: “Insight has been successful beyond my expectations. We have determined the thickness of the crust, the size and density of the inner core, and the details of the structure of the outer surface. For the first time, we have a complete and detailed map of the deep interior of another planet, other than Land And the moon “.
The InSight mission, which helped reveal Mars’ internal structure and seismic activity, was supposed to last two years, but has been extended to 4.
Insight also revealed it Mars Seismically active, 1318 earthquakes were detected.
And two research papers published in the journal “Science” details the meteorite attacks on the surface of Mars discovered by “Insight” in September and December last year, and the resulting seismic waves from the attacks revealed new details about the structure of the Martian crust and of the outer layer of the planet.
Among the objects of particular interest was a space rock between 5 and 12 meters in diameter, which crashed last December 24 in an area called Amazonis Planetia, where it dug a hole 150 meters wide and 21 meters deep.
