US National Aeronautics and Space Administrations (NASA) InSight mission detected quakes and magnetic pulses on the planet Mars. About InSight mission Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) is the first mission dedicated to looking deep beneath the Martian surface. It is part of NASAs Discovery Program and is supported by a number of European partners including Frances Centre National dÉtudes Spatiales (CNES) the German Aerospace Centre (DLR) and the United Kingdom Space Agency (UKSA). The Discovery Program is a series of Solar System exploration missions by NASA which began in 1992. InSight lander mission landed on Mars at site Elysium Planetia (nickname Homestead hollow) in November 2018. It is embedded with seismometer for detecting quakes sensors for gauging wind and air pressure magnetometer and heat flow probe designed to take the planets temperature. The mission has two objectives o Formation & Evolution Understand the formation and evolution of terrestrial planets through investigation of the interior structure and processes of Mars. o Tectonic Activity Determine the present level of tectonic activity and meteorite impact rate on Mars. What InSight told us so far? At the Surface of Mars o InSight mission is the first on the surface of Mars to detect magnetic signals with help of magnetometer. o It also says most surface rocks at InSights location are too young and this magnetism must be coming from ancient rocks underground. o There is variation in magnetic signals by day and night.
