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

Hmm, not sure if I asked this before but-
1) What is the maximum downward force that the arm can generate? Both continuous (push) or and impulse (punch)? 2) How deep a hole CAN the arm dig? 3) How far down is the caliche / duricrust layer estimated to be? Any data about delta-T and the quantify heat loss, that might suggest regolith depth, which might imply duricrust depth? I'm figuring this is the "Andy Dufresne" segment of the mission... "All it takes is pressure, and time"... |
