Artist’s conception of the InSight lander on Mars. The SEIS instrument is the dome-shaped object in the foreground. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech One of the science instruments being installed on the InSight lander is experiencing a vacuum leak, according to an update posted Dec. 3 on the JPL website. The leak is in the […] An overview of Marathon Valley, seen from Opportunity on March 13, as the rover was positioned at the Valley’s northern side, along the western rim of Endeavour Crater. The scene spans from east, at left, to southeast. Image Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Cornell Univ./Arizona State Univ. With the coming of autumn in the northern hemisphere, the […] Opportunity at Spirit of Saint Louis crater scanning into Marathon Valley and Endeavour crater from current location on Mars in April 2015 in this photo mosaic. The crater, featuring an odd mound of rocks, is the gateway to Marathon Valley and exposures of water altered clay minerals. This pancam camera photo mosaic was […] The View from Opportunity on Mars Today Opportunity arrives at Spirit of Saint Louis crater and peers into Marathon Valley and Endeavour crater from current location on Mars as of April 3, 2015, in this photo mosaic. The crater is the gateway to Marathon Valley and exposures of water altered clay minerals. This […] |
