Medicine & TechnologyNational Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced the extension of Juno and InSight missions to further investigate Mars and Jupiter.
During their meeting, the research team reported that InSight had detected almost 500 small 'marsquakes,' although only a few with a magnitude higher than 4.5, said Paul Voosen.
NASA has begun testing its latest Mars Lander, called InSight, that is set to launch from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California and land on Mars approximately six months later. Once on the surface, the mission is scheduled to last approximately two Earth years, or 720 Earth days and is expected to begin delivering data in October 2016.
