 |  NASA selects DLR experiment for InSight mission to Mars
 21 August 2012
After the successful landing of the Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover, NASA has selected one more lander mission to Mars. The InSight mission will reach Mars in September 2016, after a six-month journey; it has been designed to take a ’look’ into the deep interior of the Red Planet; it will do this with geophysical experiments including DLR’s HP3, which will penetrate several metres into the Martian subsurface to measure the soil’s thermo-physical and electrical properties.
