An artist’s illustration of the InSight lander on Mars. InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, was designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough checkup since it formed 4.5 billion years ago. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech Although Mars is smaller than Earth, it has a similar land surface area because it has no oceans. In order to survey this huge amount of ground – 144 million km, the Chinese National Space Agency, the Indian Space Research Organisation, and the United Arab Emirates Space Agency. This is thought to be the first time that all missions in orbit around Mars have collaborated on a single project.During its time on Mars, InSight recorded at least 8 marsquake events caused by meteoroid impacts.
After several months of searching, the team announced that no fresh crater was found. They conclude that the event was instead caused by the release of enormous tectonic forces within Mars’ interior. This indicates that the planet is much more seismically active than previously thought. “This project represents a huge international effort to help solve the mystery of S1222a, and I am incredibly grateful to all the missions who contributed. “I hope this project serves as a template for productive international collaborations in deep space.”Dr. Fernando said: “We still think that Mars doesn’t have any active plate tectonics today, so this event was likely caused by the release of stress within Mars’ crust.
