The largest infrared space telescope will study the relative abundance between water (common h2o) and heavy water, in order to determine how much water Mars has lost during its history. Curious how a telescope orbiting Earth can still compete with probes orbiting Mars or even circling its surface. This post has been automatically translated. See the original post here.

The most risky part of the mission is successfully completed, but there are still some maneuvers needed to reach the final circular orbit.We will soon begin to receive the first scientific data….

The InSight mission, whose departure from Earth is scheduled for May, will be the first to study the interior of Mars.The probe is expected to land in November in an area of Mars called Elysium Planitia (see https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elysium_Planitia ), where it will also place a seismometer and an instrument to measure the soil temperature at different depths.During the two days of this conference, followable in streaming (see bottom of the article), will be exposed the various aspects and expectations of this important mission. To get a taste I propose this conference of two years ago, shortly before they suspended the launch due to technical problems: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPwC04FuI4w Speaker:Troy Lee HudsonTechnologist, at the NASA Jet Propulsion LaboratoryInstrument Systems Engineer for the InSight mission Heat-Flow and Physical Properties Package (HP3).
