The InSight lander — which stands for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport — was set to delve deep beneath the Red Planet’s surface in order to discover how the solar system’s rocky planets formed.“We either decide to go forward, or we don’t, and that depends on غير مجاز مي باشدt data,” John Grunsfeld, associate administrator for Nasa’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington, told reporters.

.A leak discovered earlier this year, that prevented it from retaining vacuum conditions, was successfully repaired, and the mission team “was hopeful the most recent fix also would be successful.“Learning about the interior structure of Mars has been a high priority objective for planetary scientists since the Viking era,” Grunsfeld said.The next launch window will not occur until around May 2018 and the US space agency said it does not yet know if it will be able to continue with the mission given budget constraints.”Nasa said the decision to delay follows unsuccessful attempts to repair a leak affecting the vacuum seal around three main sensors that is necessary in order to withstand the harsh conditions of the Martian environment.“We push the boundaries of space technology with our missions to enable science, but space exploration is unforgiving, and the bottom line is that we’re not ready to launch in the 2016 window.

”However, the instrument once again failed to hold a vacuum during testing on Monday in extreme cold temperatures.Nasa announced on Tuesday it has suspended the March 2016 launch of its InSight mission to Mars because of problems with a key scientific component.”The problematic instrument is a seismometer provided by France’s Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), designed to measure ground movements as small as the diameter of an atom. The good news is that our system was able to discover the problem when it was still here on Earth. The mission has a total غير مجاز مي باشدt cap of 5 million and it has already spent 5 million.“I don’t think anyone has a question that in 26 months we won’t be able to solve the problem.“This is one of the risks of the job.” It will take weeks, if not months, before Nasa knows how much this delay will غير مجاز مي باشدt, and whether it will be able to come up with the funding to move forward with InSight.“It’s a hard blow,” CNES president Jean-Yves Le Gall told AFP.
