Pre-launch press kit for NASA's Mars InSight mission.

InSight is a mission to Mars, but it is more than a Mars mission. It will help scientists understand the formation and early evolution of all rocky planets, including Earth.

A technology demonstration called Mars Cube One (MarCO) will share the launch with InSight and fly separately to Mars.
