The spacecraft arrived at Mars in November 2018 to study the planet’s interior.

The American space agency NASA has officially said goodbye to the InSight lander, which spent four years exploring the bowels of Mars. This was reported by Science Alert.

NASA said mission control failed to contact the spacecraft on two consecutive attempts, leading to the conclusion that the lander’s solar arrays were dead.

“InSight may be shut down, but its legacy — and its discoveries deep on Mars — will live on,” the agency said.

At the same time, experts added that they will continue to listen for the signal of the lander, which last contacted Earth a week ago, but this is considered unlikely after several months of Martian dust accumulated on its two solar panels , because it flows. its power.

It was previously reported that InSight recorded the strongest and longest earthquake on Mars.
