InSight Mars Lander - Instrument Deployment System

NASA’s Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport (InSight) Mars Lander’s mission overarching goal is to understand the processes of planetary differentiation that formed the terrestrial planets and the global processes that subsequently modify them.

Dr. Trebi-Ollennu will talk about his work as InSight’s Product Delivery Manager and Operations Team Chief for the Instrument Deployment System, which enabled the successful deployment of a seismometer on Mars, NASA’s first placement of a seismometer on another astronomical body since Apollo. In addition, it is NASA’s first successful precision robotics instrument placement and release on another astronomical body.
