No matter how many times we may have done it before, landing on #Mars is hard! My mission is no different. Thousands of steps need to work perfectly together. More on landing: go.nasa.gov/2EU4wxC pic.twitter.com/p08h8CBEij

At Curiosity’s location, on October 27, 2018 (Sol 2213) the air temperature was between 10.4 and -94 degrees Fahrenheit (-12 and -70 degrees Celsius), and the ground temperature was 42.8 to -95.8 degrees Fahrenheit (6 to -71 degrees Celsius).

As far as my team is concerned, all data is good data! My seismometer is designed to detect a range of frequencies and it’s so sensitive it can it can detect tremors that are smaller than a hydrogen atom! mars.jpl.nasa.gov/insight/spacec…

I slow down first by using the Martian atmosphere, then using a parachute, and then finally using retro rockets, which fire upwards to slow me down. See the Entry Descent and Landing page for info on how I manages to slow down so quickly mars.jpl.nasa.gov/insight/timeli…

Curiosity’s mission and science objectives are very different from mine; it needs nuclear power to achieve its goals. I don’t need nuclear power to achieve my goals.

My battery holds reserve power, my team keeps reserves in the battery in case of bad weather. I communicate with Earth via multiple orbiters and ground stations. There are options if I need them!

We are landing at the equator where we expect to get lots of sunlight. The solar panels were designed to accommodate and deal with dust accumulation. From time to time, the Martian wind may give us a hand.

No, my seismometer is designed to detect meteorite impacts passively. It is so sensitive, it can detect tremors that are smaller than a hydrogen atom! mars.jpl.nasa.gov/insight/spacec…

@estelsiplanetes My nominal mission is planned for two Earth years, which is about one Mars year.
