Congratulations to the InSight team on a successful landing! We'll discuss the remainder of the mission here.

Thanks, Propguy.
Quick question re the WTS: How much is it expected to reduce the amount of temperature variation? I can't imagine that the instrument itself will produce much in the way of stray heat, though maybe it doesn't take much to make a significant (and calibrate-able) difference in terms of performance. -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

Thanks, Propguy. Quick question re the WTS: How much is it expected to reduce the amount of temperature variation? I imagine that the soil covered by the WTS will provide some extra heat capacity that will stabilize the temp variation somewhat more than the air temperature |
