CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA’s new Mars lander has placed a quake monitor on the planet’s dusty red surface, just a few weeks after its arrival.
Mars InSight ’s robotic arm removed the seismometer from the spacecraft deck and set it on the ground Wednesday to monitor Mars quakes.
=====================================
A significant achievement just getting this probe to land safely on Mars. This seismometer is just icing on the cake.
