NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) caught a glimpse of the agency's retired InSight lander recently, documenting the accumulation of dust on the spacecraft's solar panels. In the new image taken Oct. 23 by MRO's High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, InSight's solar panels have acquired the same reddish-brown hue as the rest of the planet.

Silent NASA lander gives science insight into Martian dust

For the past two years, a NASA spacecraft has sat lifeless on the surface of Mars, its solar panels caked with dirt. From a vantage point in space, the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recently caught a glimpse of the dormant InSight lander. The new images are not only a last goodbye to the lander but capture the incredibly turbulent nature of dust storms on the Red Planet. Despite the fact that InSight retired in December 2022, engineers quietly hop…

NASA Mars Orbiter Spots Retired InSight Lander to Study Dust Movement

The US Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA, has provided updated information from the surface of Mars. Photos taken by NASA's MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter) multi-purpose automated interplanetary station show how dust deposits on and around InSight change over time. This data can reveal new aspects to scientists about the Red Planet. In the foreground is the InSight Martian module,... The post NASA's Mars station captured an abandoned …

Американское управление по аэронавтике и исследованию космического пространства, NASA, представило обновленные сведения с поверхности Марса. Фотографии, сделанные многоцелевой автоматической межпланетной станцией NASA MRO (Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter), демонстрируют, как пылевые отложения на InSight и вокруг него изменяются со временем. Эти данные способны раскрыть ученым новые аспекты о Красной планете. На переднем плане — марсианский модуль In…

NASA's Mars station captured an abandoned InSight module buried in dust

NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) caught a glimpse of the agency’s retired InSight lander recently, documenting the accumulation of dust on the spacecraft’s solar panels. In the new image taken Oct. 23 by MRO’s High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera, InSight’s solar panels have acquired the same reddish-brown hue as the rest of the planet. After touching down in November 2018, the lander was the first to detect the Red…

Mars orbiter spots retired InSight lander to study dust movement - Tech and Science Post

New Delhi: NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) revisited the InSight Lander, that retired in 2022 to investigate the accumulation of dust on its solar panels, which is why the mission came to a premature end despite being extended by officials. The orbiter had previously imaged the lander in May 2024. The lander is slowly becoming one with the planet, with the solar panel acquiring the same reddish-brown hue as the dust that cakes the Red P…
