NASA Celebrates Successful Landing on Mars

Published November 28th, 2018 - 09:14 GMT

Astronauts and Scientists at NASA have celebrated on Monday the Successful landing of the InSight ship on Planet Mars.

During the coming period, InSight spacecraft is set to grab more photos of the landing site and send them back to Earth, as scientists want to decide where the probe should place its instruments, and tools.
