The selection of the Discovery Program InSight landing site took over four years from initial
identification of possible areas that met engineering constraints, to downselection via …

Abstract The Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package HP 3 for the InSight mission will
attempt the first measurement of the planetary heat flow of Mars. The data will be taken at the …

Abstract The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport
(InSight) spacecraft landed successfully on Mars and imaged the surface to characterize the …

The NASA InSight lander mission to Mars payload includes the Heat Flow and Physical
Properties Package HP 3 to measure the surface heat flow. The package was designed to …

Analyses of seismic data from the InSight mission have provided the first in situ constraints
on the thickness of the crust of Mars. These crustal thickness constraints are currently limited …

Although not the prime focus of the InSight mission, the near-surface geology and physical
properties investigations provide critical information for both placing the instruments …

The InSight lander will deliver geophysical instruments to Mars in 2018, including
seismometers installed directly on the surface (Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure …

Since early 2019, the InSight mission has proven that Mars is seismically active, with more
than 900 seismic events recorded. Among them, several events have characteristics close to …

This article discusses relevant physical properties of the regolith at the Mars InSight landing
site as understood prior to landing of the spacecraft. InSight will land in the northern lowland …

The shallow crustal structure of Mars records the evolutionary history of the planet, which is
crucial for understanding the early Martian geological environment. Until now, seismic …
