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

Fresh update on HP3: https://spaceflightnow.com/2019/04/03/insig...n-be-recovered/
QUOTE Engineers have used InSight’s cameras and seismic sensors to diagnose the HP3 instrument’s situation. During a third short hammering session March 27, ground controllers tuned the lander’s seismometer to listen to the vibrations created by the mole in an attempt to assess whether the probe is pushing against a single rock or a thick layer of gravel. “The character of the seismic signal is changing, especially between the initial hammering … There are changes happening in the response,” Banerdt said March 26, referring to the seismometer’s measurements of the probe’s first hammering operation. “There are changes happening in the response (of the rock),” Banerdt said. “We think we can analyze some of that stuff in terms of both the reverberation of soil versus rock, and also in terms of actual individual substrokes within the hammer itself. The hammer actually has about 5 different sub-strokes as it hits and rebounds and different parts of it absorb the impact.” The obstruction is at around 30 cm; is that too deep for the scoop to excavate nearby and find out how big the obstruction is, or if it's a layer under the whole worksite? |

At the end of the day digging it out or pulling it might be needed. Where the mole is now it's not going to work. |
