maroonlegions Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 NASA Will Land A Spacecraft On Mars Today - Here's How To Watch Live NASA’s InSight lander, which was launched from Earth in May, is scheduled to land on the Red Planet today at 2.54pm EST (7.54pm GMT). We won’t get confirmation back on Earth until 3.01pm EST (8.01pm GMT), however, owing to the distance between our two planets. All the action will be live on NASA TV, which we’ve embedded below, with shots from mission control as the team waits nervously to hear from the spacecraft. The first image from the lander on the surface of Mars is expected at 3.04pm EST (8.04pm GMT), but NASA noted it could also arrive the next day.

been here before Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Anyone know a good place to park on Mars? If you've been recently is there anywhere you can recommend does a breakfast/lunch combo?

Red and spicy by the looks of it as far as eating goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moon landings were a bit meh back in the day. Watching people sitting or standing about isn't my thing. But all the research and stuff is brilliant. I could discuss lots of everyday benefits from the space programme. Also interestingly a major factor is helping maintain peace in the world. The fist bumps were cool though.

maroonlegions Posted November 27, 2018 Author Share Posted November 27, 2018 (edited) Landed safely, first picture of the Martian surface taken from the Insight Lander. The Instrument Deployment Camera (IDC), located on the robotic arm of NASA's InSight lander, took this picture off the Martian surface on Nov. 26, 2018, the same day the spacecraft touched down on the Red Planet. The camera's transparent dust cover is still on in this image, to prevent particulates kicked up during landing from settling on the camera's lens. This image was relayed from InSight to Earth via NASA's Odyssey spacecraft, currently orbiting Mars. The signal from InSght telling NASA that it's OK. This is a "beep" that comes directly from Insight and is picked up by Earth-based ground antennae. Also the MarCO satellites will be in range to relay the "I'm alive" signal, but will be out of range when Insight is meant to deploy its solar panels after landing. NASA will need to wait 5 1/2 hours for the Mars Reconaissance Orbiter (MRO) to be in the right position to relay the signal from InSight confirming that the solar panels have deployed.
