Final Signals from the InSight Lander Probe

The Insight mission to Mars, launched in 2018, aimed to study the planet's interior. Despite challenges like dust accumulation on solar panels and difficulties with the Mole instrument, Insight provided valuable data on Mars's seismic activity and inner structure. The mission revealed that Mars has a thinner crust, a cooler mantle, and a larger, less dense core than expected. These findings suggest the presence of lighter elements in the core, influencing its molten state and historical magnetic field. Insight's data will guide future Mars missions and enhance our understanding of the planet's formation and potential habitability.
