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.
According to New Scientist s latest report, the InSight lander began operating on the Gaseous Giant two years ago. However, since it wasn t able to go further underground, NASA s engineers and other space experts gave up.
The giant space agency s Mole is a 16-inch heat probe. It is specifically designed to drill 16 feet into Jupiter s crust to take the planet s temperature.
