Watch NASA’s InSight Rover Landing on Mars

November 26, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am

NASA's Insight Rover lands on Mars

NASA’s InSight lander lifted off from Vandenberg Air Force Base on May 5, 2018, in the pre-dawn hours. This was the first interplanetary launch from the west coast. Now, approximately 6 months later, InSight nears the planet Mars. The lander will plunge through the thin Martian atmosphere, heat-shield first, and use a parachute to slow down. Then, it will fire its retro rockets to slowly descend to the surface of the Red Planet.

Watch the landing live! The viewing will be held in the First Floor Reading Room and is suitable for all ages.

Program subject to change. If you require an auxiliary aid or accommodation due to a disability, please contact the library at least 7 days before the program date.
