NASA is launching its InSight spacecraft, which is destined for Mars and designed to study the interior and subsurface of the red planet in order to shed light on the Earth and Solar System’s history.
The Atlas V rocket leaves its launch point at 11:05 GMT with a very foggy atmosphere above the US Air Force base in Vandenderg, California, carrying NASA’s first robotic lander. This launch is NASA’s first mission to Mars since 2012, when the famous Curiosity Rover landed on the red planet.
