InSight’s (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) Principal Investigator W. Bruce Banerdt presents information on the first launch to Mars from the West Coast and the latest findings from InSight to Kennedy Space Center employees on March 13, 2019, at Kennedy’s Space Station Processing Facility Conference Center in Florida. InSight is a NASA Discovery Program mission that placed a single geophysical lander on Mars to study the Red Planet’s deep interior and will ultimately provide a better understanding of the processes that shaped the rocky planets of the inner solar system, including Earth.

During a prelaunch briefing at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, Bruce Banerdt, InSight Principal Investigator at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, speaks to members of the media. The presentation focused on NASA's Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, or InSight, Mars lander. InSight is scheduled for liftoff May 5, 2018, atop a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket from Space Launch Complex 3 at Vandenberg. The spacecraft will be the first mission to look deep beneath the Martian surface studying the planet's interior by measuring its heat output and listen for marsquakes.
