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

Insight will present at the upcoming LPSC. Some findings which caught my eye:
1/ Both the seismic and radio science show a large liquid metal core probably made of iron and sulfur. 2/ Crustal thickness at landing location has been constrained and the crustal density has come out on the low side, which could mean significant porosity. It seems to me that you could hide an ocean's worth of water in the crust if their numbers are accurate. 3/ There is definitely a seasonal component to earthquake activity, which seems to be linked to solar illumination. 4/No impact signals have been detected. Mars has a core / It’s liquid, metal, and large / Seismic waves did tell us. Crust results Seasonality |
