Speaking of photon-starved, the arm just scooped up soil and dropped it on the lander deck to help increase power a bit before the arm is retired.

I have to say, despite being labeled a boring mission. InSight has proven to be far more scientifically interesting than we expected, if not of any Martian mission. Seeing it watch its final days makes me sad, knowing it will soon join the ranks of Mars 3, Viking, Pathfinder, MER, and Phoenix as monuments to our exploration of this planet that still surprised us even in InSight's final weeks. The mole may not have worked, but the shaking sure told us Mars is still active in a way. Plus we got to act like a child playing in the sandbox for a couple Martian years which was fun!

Where can I get the quake data such as date, longitude, latitude, Richter scale?
Thanks! |

The raw data are here:
https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/insight/seis.htm But it's up to you to figure out what it all means. If you want it all processed and put in simple terms (as your question suggests), you may have to wait for researchers to do the processing and publish the results, and since they are still collecting the last bits of data that may be a while.

I looked at what you mentioned and could not find an example that showed lat,long and magnitude. I will keep looking. This is for schools that are using my apps so need to keep simple. :-) QUOTE (Phil Stooke @ Jul 28 2022, 04:22 AM) The raw data are here: https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/insight/seis.htm But it's up to you to figure out what it all means.

Thanks All! I think I found my answer. The web service for iris or fdsnws seems to have a rest call that includes magnitude with latitude and longitude. I will look more into that.

If I'm understanding this right, it looks like the power production level has been holding steady, and maybe even increased a bit recently? https://blogs.nasa.gov/insight/

Yes, perhaps in response to cleaner air with reduced values of tau (aerosol optical depth).

Not going to lie, I thought it would be EOM by the end of August.

This was the statement from late June:
QUOTE Instead, the team now plans to program the lander so that the seismometer can operate longer, perhaps until the end of August or into early September. Doing so will discharge the lander’s batteries sooner and cause the spacecraft to run out of power at that time as well, but it might enable the seismometer to detect additional marsquakes. As it's just about the last day of "early September" ... not bad. |
