Initial results from the InSight mission on Mars

W. Bruce Banerdt, +76 more
- 24 Feb 2020 - 
TL;DR: For example, the first ten months of the InSight lander on Mars revealed a planet that is seismically active and provided information about the interior, surface and atmospheric workings of Mars as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Selection of the InSight Landing Site

TL;DR: The InSight landing site selection took over four years from initial identification of possible areas that met engineering constraints, to downselection via targeted data from orbiters (especially Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) Context Camera (CTX) and High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) images), to selection and certification via sophisticated entry, descent and landing (EDL) simulations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Minimum effective area for high resolution crater counting of martian terrains

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that due to the effect of pattern variability in cratering over 100 km2 and the susceptibility of smaller craters to resurfacing, crater counts derived from small area samples are suspect to major uncertainties.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geology of the InSight landing site on Mars

TL;DR: The surficial geology of the landing site is characterized and observations are consistent with expectations made from remote sensing data prior to landing indicating a surface composed of an impact-fragmented regolith overlying basaltic lava flows.
Journal ArticleDOI

Geology and Physical Properties Investigations by the InSight Lander

TL;DR: The InSight lander will obtain multiple stereo images of the surface and its interaction with the spacecraft, which will be used to identify the geologic materials and features present, quantify their areal coverage, help determine the basic geologic evolution of the area, and provide ground truth for orbital remote sensing data as discussed by the authors.
