My name is etched on a microchip onboard NASA's InSight mission to Mars along with 2,429,807 other names around the world! Insight launched on May 5, 2018, and its Mars landing is scheduled for November 26, 2018. InSight will study the interior of Mars and listen for Marsquakes. Cool!
Read the following InSight mission overview from NASA's website:
"InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to give the Red Planet its first thorough checkup since it formed 4.5 billion years ago. It is the first outer space robotic explorer to study in-depth... its crust, mantle, and core." https://mars.nasa.gov/insight/mission/overview/
