NASA sends mission robot “to Mars InSight”

The United States is sending a three-foot robot with one moving arm to the surface of Mars. The robot is expected to land on the Red Planet on Monday. It will be able to dig at a depth of five meters below the surface of Mars and send further research to scientists from the National Space and Aeronautics Agency, NASA:

This will be a major step in the “mission NASA's Inight”, which costs about $1 billion.

We've been traveling to Mars for about seven months. We've done some tests and maneuverings to repair the trajectory, so that we can get to the right point in the atmosphere, so that the robot's landing will be done on the planet Mars”, says Tom Hoffman, NASA Project Manager, “InSight”

The Mars landing is always dangerous, NASA scientists say. The hardest part of Monday's mission will be the six-minute landing of the vehicle carrying the robot.

The robot will dig deeper into the Red Planet than the other probes in front of him, if his exit is successful.

“Mission Inight” on Mars could last at least two years.

The data he will collect will be sent to Earth, where NASA scientists will study.

On “mission NASA's Inight” include European specialists: Germany is responsible for the mechanical drill designed to crack five meters deep into the surface of Mars to get soil samples and measure underground temperature, while France manages the installed seismometer at the feet of the robot, which will monitor earthquakes. / VOA/
