NASA's Live Broadcast of Mars InSight Landing

Watch NASA's live broadcast

Watch NASA's newest Mars rover, InSight land on Mars. We will be watching the live NASA broadcast Monday, November 26, 11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the Cafeteria Banquet Room.

This is the first time in six years that NASA has broadcast a live landing on Mars (since August 6, 2012, when Curiosity landed).

Details about the Mission:

NASA's Mars Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) lander is scheduled to touch down on the Red Planet at approximately 12:00 p.m. PST Nov. 26, and we will watch the live broadcast.

Launched on May 5, InSight marks NASA's first Mars landing since the Curiosity rover in 2012. The landing will kick off a two-year mission in which InSight will become the first spacecraft to study Mars' deep interior. Its data also will help scientists understand the formation of all rocky worlds, including our own.

InSight is being followed to Mars by two mini-spacecraft comprising NASA’s Mars Cube One (MarCO), the first deep-space mission for CubeSats. If MarCO makes its planned Mars flyby, it will attempt to relay data from InSight as it enters the planet’s atmosphere and lands.

InSight and MarCO flight controllers will monitor the spacecraft's entry, descent and landing from mission control at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, where all landing events will take place.

11:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. – Live landing commentary on the NASA TV Public Channel.
