InSight mission should last two years, its main task will study the soil of Mars, which will allow scientists, as assured NASA agency, better understand the processes of formation of our solar system.
InSight probe followed by two MarCO spacecraft (Mars Cube One), which according to the plan must fly around Red planets and transfer the received data to the main module.
If everything goes according to plan, the InSight mission will be another an important milestone in space exploration by man. Naturally Earthlings will closely monitor not only landing, but also subsequent work of the Martian module. Certain hopes for this is assigned by both the academic minds of the Earth and ufologists, conspiracy theorists and other independent space explorers who hope that the new US Martian mission will prove the existence of intelligent life on Mars or at least discover there the presence of aliens …
