NASA's InSight probe landed on Mars in 2018 to help scientists study the planet's interior. But Martian dust has been building up on InSIght's solar arrays, which could end its mission.

More than 50 million miles away, a critical amount of actual Mars dust has covered the solar panels of NASA’s InSight lander, which had been studying the red planet’s crust, mantle, core and ...

Mars wasn’t easy on InSight. Take the case of the soil snafu. The lander arrived on Mars in late 2018 with an instrument designed to hammer into the surface to measure the interior’s heat.

NASA’s InSight Mars lander, which touched down on the Red Planet over four years ago, transmitted what may be its final image on Monday. "My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I ...

Like many of NASA’s other Mars robots, the lander has far exceeded the planned mission duration — as of December 20, 1,445 sols have elapsed. InSight’s demise by dust was not unexpected.

NASA officially ended its InSight Mars lander mission on Wednesday after the spacecraft missed two consecutive communication attempts. Power on the lander had been dwindling in recent months as a ...

The tweet that came from Mars Monday morning actually didn’t originate from anywhere near there. It came from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., where the mission of the ...

NASA's InSight lander reached Mars four years ago and has been working to gather data about the red planet's interior. But the mission will soon come to an end.

Dust, rocks, a hazy horizon. That's the view from NASA's InSight lander as it enters its final days on Mars. The solar-powered lander has investigated the planet's interior and measured its quakes ...

This is one of the last images ever taken by NASA’s InSight Mars lander. Captured on December 11, 2022, the 1,436th martian day, or sol, of the mission, it shows InSight’s seismometer on the ...
