NASA’s InSight lander has experienced its fair share of hardship since landing on the Red Planet late in 2018. In the months since it touched down on Mars, it’s gotten more attention for getting its drilling instrument stuck in the surface than it has for actually conducting science.
Despite its setbacks, the high-tech lander has been working hard and listening closely for rumblings within the planet. As NASA explains in an update, InSight’s mission of detecting quakes is going rather well, with over 100 quake candidates and nearly two dozen events that the science team firmly believes are indeed marsquakes.
