    Gaining InSight
    Oct 18 2024

    Meet Dr Anna Horleston from Bristol University.

    NASA’s InSight lander was active on Mars from November 2018 to December 2022 – a total of 1446 sols (Martian days). InSight carried a suite of geophysical instruments designed to help us understand the interior structure of the red planet. The primary instrument was a seismometer – the first seismometer to be deployed to the surface of Mars – and my job was to analyse the seismic data, to find Marsquakes (like earthquakes but on Mars), and to figure out what was causing them. I’ll take you through the highs and lows of working on an active NASA mission, the real meaning of “remote working”, and show you some of the amazing results from the mission.

Love it

I don’t know why - the snark? The sarcasm? The fluctuation between science wonk speak and then bringing it back to casual speak? It just works. Well done. And now I have to watch The Orville…
