The NASA Mars InSight lander is scheduled to touch down on Mars today around 3 p.m. ET. The robotic lander launched over six months ago from Vandenberg Air Force base in California.
InSight is expected to enter the Mars atmosphere and begin its decent to the Martian surface at approximately 2:47 p.m. ET. Four minutes later, it will deploy a parachute to slow itself. Once slowed, it will jettison its heat shield and then its landing legs will unfold and lock into place.
