InSight was such a special mission to us. As we wrap up the project, we thank you all for having been here to share in the adventure.
Discoveries from InSight and other Mars missions will continue. Follow along at and

My power’s really low, so this may be the last image I can send. Don’t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will – but I’ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.
Everyone should be so lucky to have a supportive community like you all. Thanks for all the kind postcards you’ve written. If you’d like to send well-wishes to me or my team back on Earth, I’m sure they’d love to read them. 💌
Send your postcard here:
I’ve been lucky enough to live on two planets. Four years ago, I arrived safely at the second one, to the delight of my family back on the first. Thanks to my team for sending me on this journey of discovery. Hope I’ve done you proud.
Science highlights:
Time may be short for me, but I’ll keep sending back science for as long as I can. Meanwhile, I’m not the only bot on Mars. Keep exploring the Red Planet by following the adventures of:

To the millions who sent your names with me: thanks for riding along. The two chips with your names may be dustier now (just like me), but we're here together on Mars, my forever home.
Future explorers, send your name on NASA’s next Mars mission:
The day is coming when I’ll fall silent, ending my nearly four Earth years (over two Mars years) of studying the Red Planet. As my time winds down on Mars, my team is helping make sure scientists can get the most out of everything I’ve gathered.

I detected one of the biggest meteoroid impacts ever seen on Mars. I thought it was a marsquake until the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, flying overhead, imaged the impact crater, which excavated buried chunks of water-ice. That’s what friends are for!

Experts from the

and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter teams are sharing details about a new finding on the Red Planet. They'll also provide an update on InSight’s waning energy levels.
Skies are darkening a bit here, but I’m okay for now. I’m staying calm, and conserving my energy for a while, until the skies clear. I’ll continue operating for as long as possible.
Latest news:
My surroundings are peaceful and tranquil, allowing me to pick up vibrations from deep inside Mars. But in a first, I’ve also captured seismic waves from a more dramatic source: several meteoroids impacting miles away.
