NASA's InSight has provided the first ever "sounds" of Martian winds on the Red Planet.

Now unstowed, the spacecraft's robotic arm will point a camera located on its elbow and take images of the surroundings.

With InSight safely on the surface of Mars, the mission team at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, is busy learning more about the spacecraft's landing site.

A pair of tiny, experimental spacecraft fulfilled their mission yesterday, relaying back near-real-time data during InSight's landing.

Mars just received its newest robotic resident. NASA's InSight lander successfully touched down on the Red Planet after an almost seven-month, 300-million-mile (458-million-kilometer) journey from Earth.

The latest updates from the the Mars Insight team.

In just over 24 hours, NASA's InSight spacecraft will complete its seven-month journey to Mars. It will have cruised 301,223,981 miles (484,773,006 km) at a top speed of 6,200 mph (10,000 kph).

The following is a list of expected milestones for the spacecraft, assuming all proceeds exactly as planned and engineers make no final changes.

NASA's Mars InSight spacecraft is on track for a soft touchdown on the surface of the Red Planet on Nov. 26, the Monday after Thanksgiving.

After a five-year search, NASA has chosen Jezero Crater as the landing site for its upcoming Mars 2020 rover mission.

In studying Mars, NASA's InSight will reveal what makes one planet more or less suitable for life than another.

November 16 marks the premiere of a unique film and musical experience inspired by the Hubble Space Telescope’s famous Deep Field image

NASA's InSight team will be monitoring the Mars lander's radio signals using a variety of spacecraft — and even radio telescopes here on Earth — to suss out what's happening 91 million miles (146 million km) away.

NASA's InSight lander is scheduled to touch down on the Red Planet at approximately 3 p.m. EST Nov. 26, and viewers everywhere can watch coverage of the event live on NASA Television, the agency's website and social media platforms.

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, this week commanded the agency's Curiosity rover to switch to its second computer. The switch will enable engineers to do a detailed diagnosis of a technical issue that has prevented the rover's active computer from storing science and some key engineering data since Sept. 15.

If the InSight landing zone were ice cream, it would be vanilla.

November brings planets, an asteroid, a comet and the Leonids meteor shower.

After a review of the progress of the listening campaign, NASA will continue its current strategy for attempting to make contact with the Opportunity rover for the foreseeable future.

Launching today, the eight-episode series "On a Mission" follows the InSight lander as it travels hundreds of millions of miles and attempts to land on Mars on Nov. 26.

The supersonic parachute that will handle the heaviest payload yet to the Red Planet – Mars 2020 rover – passes its final sounding rocket test with flying colors.

Unlike the space agency's rovers, InSight is a lander designed to study an entire planet from just one spot.

NASA's MarCO mission was designed to find out if briefcase-sized spacecraft could survive the journey to deep space. Now, MarCO has Mars in sight.

From deep below the soil at Earth’s polar regions to Pluto’s frozen heart, ice exists all over the solar system...and beyond.

InSight, slated to land on Mars Nov. 26, 2018, will be the first mission to use a robotic arm to grasp instruments and release them into place on another planet.

Hundreds of scientists and Mars-exploration enthusiasts will convene just north of Los Angeles later this week to present, discuss and deliberate the future landing site for NASA's next Red Planet rover – Mars 2020.
