Surviving after passing through extreme Martian atmosphere with the risk of being burned at any time, InSight - NASA's latest surveyor finally landed safely on the surface of the Red Planet. . The history of the aerospace industry has clearly marked a new milestone, but the two-year mission is just beginning - a mission that's right with the name of the ship: discovering the unknown. the ground of Mars.

After six and a half months in space, InSight approached the Martian atmosphere at speeds of more than 19,312 km / h, plunging at an appropriate angle before dropping to just 8 km / h Finally, it stops when landed. In order for the landing to proceed smoothly, InSight, when reached a certain height, automatically activates the ultrasonic system, processes the data obtained from the radars and operates the jet engines at the right time. . In fact, the landing process took less than seven minutes, but it was considered "the most terrible 7 minutes" for both the ship itself and the people behind it. image
