NASA  launches another mission called Insight. This mission starts on May 5.  InSight, Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport the first ever mission to study the Heart of the Mars.With this probe scientists easily understand the depth of Mars interior.This research study the planet’s interior by measuring its heat output and listening for marsquakes, which are seismic events similar to earthquakes on Earth. It will use the seismic waves generated by marsquakes to develop a map of the planet’s deep interior. The findings of Mars formation will provide deep information about how other rocky planets, including Earth, were and are created.InSight is part of NASA’s Discovery Program, managed by the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.NASA is also launching a separate technology experiment known as Mars Cube One (MarCO). MarCO consists of two mini-spacecraft and will be the first test of CubeSat technology in deep space. They are designed to test new communications and navigation capabilities for future missions and may aid InSight also communications.
