Isixhobo esizenzekelayo se-InSight, esilungiselelwe ukufunda ngoMars, siphinda siqalise imisebenzi yokomba. Oku kuchazwe yi-intanethi ye-RIA Novosti, ecaphula ulwazi olusasazwa yi-German Aviation and Cosmonautics Centre (DLR).
Khumbula ukuba i-InSight probe yafika kwiRed Planet ekupheleni kukaNovemba kulo nyaka uphelileyo. Esi sisixhobo esimileyo esingenakushukunyiswa.
Iinjongo zemishini kukufunda ubume bangaphakathi beMars kunye nokufunda iinkqubo ezenzeka kumhlaba wePlanethi eBomvu. Isixhobo se-SEIS (i-Seismic Experiment for Internal Structure) kunye nesixhobo se-seismometer se-HP (UkuHamba koBubushushu kunye neProbe yeProjekthi yePhysical Properties) ziyilelwe le njongo. Eyesibini kwezi zixhobo, ephuhliswe ziingcali ze-DLR, yenzelwe ukulinganisa ukuhamba kobushushu phantsi kobuso bukaMars. Ukusebenza kwenkqubo ye-HP, ukomba iqula liyafuneka.
I-InSight probe yaqala ukusebenza ngokugrumba ngaphezulu kweenyanga ezimbini ezidlulileyo. Nangona kunjalo, kwinkqubo yokungena nzulu kumhlaba weMartian, isixhobo sadibana nomqobo kwaye ngokuzenzekelayo .
Ekuqaleni kwacetyiswa ukuba i-drill ibethe ilitye. Kodwa kunokwenzeka ukuba "i-drill" ibethe umaleko womhlaba oshinyeneyo.
Ngenye indlela okanye enye, ngoku iingcali ziqala imisebenzi ebizwa ngokuba yi "diagnostic drilling". Baya kukunceda uphuhlise isicwangciso sokuthatha amanyathelo angaphezulu.
