NASA's InSight lander to study interior of Mars

<p>Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) said the InSight lander was on target to touch down on Mars on Monday November 26th to study - for the first time - the interior of the Red Planet. Monday&#39;s landing will all come down to a hair-raising six-and-a-half-minute descent from outer space to the rocky surface with the vehicle slowing down from 12,000 miles per hour to zero. The landing will also depend on a specially-designed heat shield meant to protect the robot&#39;s sensitive instruments from incinerating. InSight blasted off from Vadenberg Air Force Base in California on May 5, 2018.</p><p><span style="color: rgb(191, 191, 191);">(Video source: Reuters via VCG)</span></p>
