NASA’s InSight is scheduled to land on the planet’s surface around the clock 21.00 Danish time. The vessel must, as the name implies, provide insight into Mars’ ‘pulse’ and the inner life. Therefore, it must be left undisturbed during its entire mission.

The most important thing may be said to be the landing, which was going completely as planned.

IN the NASA went the breakneck landing supposedly under the name of ’the seven minutes of terror’.

A period of time, which was the preliminary culmination of a half-year trip through space, after that InSight was shot of the place from the Vandenberg base in California in may.

– here is a very critical stage, says Morten Bo Madsen, associate professor and planetfysiker at the Niels Bohr Institute, to Ritzau.

– If just one thing goes wrong, then the cats to the entire mission.

It wouldn’t be the first time
Out of a total of 43 trials from a number of countries to send various vessels to Mars is 25 failed, according to news agency AP.

Either they are broken in the landing, has hit a wrong course on the planet or simply lost contact with the Ground.

According to Morten Bo Madsen, there is always a risk of this type of missions.

Although, remember he left on a mission in 1999, where he was part of a team that lost the connection to a probe.

– We never heard from it. In ten days we sat and listened for a signal and became more and more frustrated, because we did not hear anything. We had mutva.com spent three years of our lives, he says.

– precisely, it was probably a result of that they had not tested things properly.

However, americans have become very proficient at it’, explains Morten Bo Madsen.

And out of a total of eight u.s. Mars landings are the seven also managed for them, writes AP.

InSight is the first spacecraft to land on Mars since 2012.
