EVAN GOUGH, UNIVERSE TODAY 14 JANUARY 2021 Its always a sad day when a mission comes to an end. And its even sadder when the mission never really got going in the first place. Thats where were at with NASAs InSight lander. The entire mission isnt over, but the so-called Mole, the instrument designed and built by Germanys DLR, has been pronounced dead.   The Mole is, of course, the Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package (HP3). Its an instrument designed to measure the heat flowing from...

NASA has given up on the mole — a device that was supposed to dig deep into the Martian surface — after repeated failed efforts to make the system

NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA’s “mole” on Mars has failed. After nearly two years of attempting to dig the InSight lander’s heat probe – nicknamed the mole – into the Red Planet’s surface, engineers have finally given up. The InSight lander arrived on Mars in November 2018. Its main purpose is to study the planet’s deep interior in order to help us understand the history of the solar system’s rocky worlds. The lander has three main instruments to help it do that: a seismometer to catc...

NASA has given up on its Mars mole, a revolutionary experiment designed to burrow 16 feet and take the planets temperature mmcfalljohnsen@businessinsider.com (Morgan McFall-Johnsen) © NASA/JPL-Caltech The InSight landers heat probe, or "mole," poking out of the hole where it got stuck on October 26, 2019. NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA is giving up on its Mars mole — a pile driver designed to hammer its way up to 16 feet below the Martian surface — after two years of trying to dig...

The heat probe hasn’t been able to gain the friction it needs to dig, but the mission has been granted an extension to carry on with its other science.

A little more than one Martian year later, the stationary lander has detected more than 480 quakes and collected the most comprehensive weather data of any surface mission sent to Mars. InSight’s probe, which has struggled to dig...
