A new series of videos introduces some of the people leading NASA’s InSight, the agency’s next mission to Mars.
“Behind the Spacecraft” profiles the men and women working on the first mission ever dedicated to studying Mars’ deep interior. The InSight spacecraft is on its way to a Nov. 26 landing on the Red Planet. All the videos are available today and will be spotlighted on social media each week over the next three months.
The InSight profiles include:
• Troy Hudson, a scientist turned engineer with space art tattoos
• Marleen Sundgaard, the daughter of migrant workers who was inspired to look to the stars
• Ravi Prakash, a spacecraft engineer who applied his skills to combat international poverty
