Sad ending! NASA's InSight spacecraft set to be killed on Mars
It's a tale of a tragic end and a huge loss to humanity. NASA's InSight spacecraft is going to die soon. In a touching statement, the spacecraft said that the day is coming when it will fall silent forever, ending its nearly four years' journey on Mars. The Insight lander has been on a mission to reveal secrets of the Red Planet's interior. Now, the spacecraft's power generation capabilities have declined as dust has accumulated on its solar panels in such massive quantities, it is not being able to create enough power to keep itself alive. The NASA team has taken various steps to keep it alive as long as possible.
