The last image from NASA\u2019s InSight lander shows the wind and thermal shield covering some of its science instruments.<\/span> NASA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It\u2019s been known for some time that NASA\u2019s InSight Lander was coming to the end of its operations on Mars after four years of service. And it looks as if its final communication with Earth has just taken place.<\/p>\n

The ability of the lander to maintain power has been impacted by a gradual build-up of dust on the lander\u2019s two 7-feet-wide solar panels.<\/p>\n

In a tweet tinged with sadness, InSight\u2019s Twitter account this week posted what is likely to be its last image from the red planet before the robot finally shuts down.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy power\u2019s really low, so this may be the last image I can send,\u201d InSight said in the tweet. \u201cDon\u2019t worry about me though: my time here has been both productive and serene. If I can keep talking to my mission team, I will \u2014 but I\u2019ll be signing off here soon. Thanks for staying with me.\u201d<\/p>\n

&mdash; NASA InSight (@NASAInSight) December 19, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

In another tweet<\/a> shared at the end of November, InSight said: \u201cI\u2019ve been lucky enough to live on two planets. Four years ago, I arrived safely at the second one, to the delight of my family back on the first. Thanks to my team for sending me on this journey of discovery. Hope I\u2019ve done you proud.\u201d<\/p>\n

NASA said on Wednesday that it will officially declare the mission over when InSight misses two consecutive communication sessions with the spacecraft orbiting Mars \u2014 part of the Mars Relay Network \u2014 so long as the cause of the missed communication is the lander itself. After that, the space agency said its Deep Space Network will keep listening out for a while, \u201cjust in case.\u201d<\/p>\n

InSight launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on May 5, 2018, reaching Mars six months later on November 26.<\/p>\n

Unlike other Mars rovers such as Perseverance and Curiosity, InSight has no wheels and so stayed in the same spot on at Elysium Planitia for the entirety of its mission.<\/p>\n

Several of the sensors used for studying Martian weather are visible on its deck, including the inlet for an air pressure sensor and the east- and west-facing weather sensor booms.<\/em><\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

NASA said that unlike the missions still being undertaken by the rovers, InSight\u2019s science activities were designed to be \u201cmore like a marathon than a sprint.\u201d<\/p>\n

The space agency added how over the last four years, \u201cthe lander data has yielded details about Mars\u2019 interior layers, its liquid core, the surprisingly variable remnants beneath the surface of its mostly extinct magnetic field, weather on this part of Mars, and lots of quake activity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bruce Banerdt, principal investigator of the InSight mission, said earlier this year that one of the robot\u2019s legacies is that it \u201creally proves the technique of seismology for planetary science,\u201d adding: \u201cWe\u2019ve been able to map out the inside of Mars for the first time in history.\u201d<\/p>\n
