Project Overview: NASA’s 12th Discovery Program mission that will place a single geophysical lander on Mars to study its deep interior using seismic (tidal, marsquake, and impact), rotational, and thermal measurements -First mission to unveil the composition, structure and thermal state of martian crust, mantle and core; Rebuild of the Phoenix flight system, upgraded with Juno/GRAIL avionics -Phoenix cruise stage: 3-axis stabilized, 3.2 square meter UTJ (Ultra Triple-Junction) solar array, X-band telecom -Phoenix aeroshell (heat shield, backshell, parachute) -Phoenix lander: radar, pulsed thrusters, legs, payload deck, 5.1 square meter UTJ solar arrays, two redundant Li-ion batteries, UHF (Ultra High Frequency)/X-band telecom -Dual string: Internally or functionally-redundant equipment; Science Payload -SEIS (Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure) / CNES (Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales); Three-axis seismometry, to measure seismic waves traveling through the interior -HP3 (Heat Flow and Physical Properties Probe) / DLR (German Aerospace Center) -Subsurface heat probe, to measure the heat flux from the interior - RISE (Rotation and Interior Structure Experiment) / JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) -Radiometric geodesy, to determine precession & nutation of the planet’s rotation axis. 2016 Disclaimer: The InSight launch in 2016 was suspended due to critical issues with the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) instrument that could not be fixed prior to the planned launch period. This presentation and its corresponding paper represent the state of the design for the 2016 mission. No attempt has been made to reflect the latest developments. [2018 Note: InSight (Mars Lander) was later launched and arrived on Mars on Nov. 26, 2018.]
