This could bring a new understanding of how the Solar System's terrestrial planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars – and Earth's Moon form and evolve. InSight 's objectives are to place a seismometer, called Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS), on the surface of Mars to measure seismic activity and provide accurate 3D models of the planet's interior and measure internal heat transfer using a heat probe called HP 3 to study Mars' early geological evolution. As of 28 February 2022, InSight has been active on Mars for 1158 sols (1190 days 3 years, 94 days). InSight traveled 483 × 10 ^ 6 km (300 × 10 ^ 6 mi) during its journey. The mission launched on at 11:05:01 UTC aboard an Atlas V-401 launch vehicle and successfully landed at Elysium Planitia on Mars on 26 November 2018 at 19:52:59 UTC.

It was manufactured by Lockheed Martin Space Systems, is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), and most of its scientific instruments were built by European agencies. The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport ( InSight) mission is a robotic lander designed to study the deep interior of the planet Mars.
