As our spacecraft hurtled through interplanetary space towards its destination, the InSight team took stock of the situation. Would this enormous dust storm still be raging when InSight arrived? What, if anything, had this storm changed in the assumptions made by InSight’s design and test engineers about Martian atmospheric conditions for descending to the surface, or generating power there? Would InSight survive and carry out her mission?
