"NASA's Mars Orbiter Discovers Retired Robotic Spacecraft on Red Planet's Surface"
TL;DR Summary
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter spotted the "dead" InSight lander on the surface of Mars, which ceased to function in 2022 after operating for four years. InSight was sent to study the planet's interior, depositing a seismometer to record marsquakes and a thermometer to measure temperature. Despite running out of power due to dust accumulation on its solar panels, InSight continues to provide valuable data for studying Mars' surface disturbances.
