ExtremeTech NASA’s InSight Lander Detects Major Marsquakes By Ryan Whitwam on April 5, 2021 at 7:14 am This site may earn affiliate commissions from the links on this page. Terms of use. Mars is shaking, and we’d never know were it not for the trailblazing InSight lander. This mission touched down on the red planet in 2018, making history by deploying the first and only seismometer on another planet. NASA has been listening for rumbles ever since, and it just heard some big ones.  NASA reports that InSight detected two strong quakes, originating in a region with enormou...

Mysterious 'Marsquakes' detected by Nasa's Insight lander in area of Red Planet where volcanic activity and landslides have been spotted Mystery rumblings from Mars picked up by Nasa's Insight - an unmanned lander which arrived on the planet in November 2018   The quakes occurred almost exactly one Martian year - or two Earth years - after two previous quakes were detected in the same area The Cerberus Fossae region is thought to be a center of volcanic activity, and in 2019 a landslide was detected there Mars doesn't have tectonic plates like Earth, and so the causes of the quakes are the...

Mysterious rumblings known as 'Marsquakes' have been detected by Nasa's InSight lander, offering further clues about volcanic activity beneath the surface of the Red Planet. The tremors originated in a region called Cerberus Fossae - an area...

NASA's Lander Spots Two 3-Magnitude 'Marsquakes' in Potentially Seismic Region of Red Planet © Photo : NASA/JPL-Caltech Subscribe Sputnik International https://sputniknews.com/science/202104031082531672-nasas-lander-spots-two-3-magnitude-marsquakes-in-potentially-seismic-region-of-red-planet/ The seismologists indicate that unlike quakes on Earth or the moon, the "marsquakes" neither travel directly from the source through the planet, nor scatter, but rather fall in between these two categories. The InSight lander, launched by the US towards Mars ...

April 01, 2021 NASA’s InSight lander used the scoop on its robotic arm to begin trickling soil over the cable connecting its seismometer to the spacecraft on March 14, 2021, the 816th Martian day, or sol of the mission. Scientists hope this make it easier to detect marsquakes by helping to insulate the cable from the wind and from the extreme temperature shifts that cause the cable to expand and contract. JPL manages InSight for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. InSight is part of NASA’s Discovery Program, managed by the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. ...
