來自火星的最新消息!美國國家航空航天局(NASA)的「洞察號」向地球傳回了信號,這表明「洞察號」的太陽能電池板已展開,並且正在收集火星表面的太陽光。太陽能電池列陣的部署確保太空飛行器能夠每天給電池充電。
位於「洞察號」著陸器機械臂上的儀器部署相機(IDC)於2018年11月26日—太空飛行器在「紅色星球」著陸的當天—拍攝了這張火星表面的照片。
在這張圖片中,相機仍然帶著透明防塵罩,這樣可以防止著陸期間揚起的顆粒落在相機鏡頭上。這張圖片由「洞察號」經目前繞火星軌道運行的NASA中繼衛星奧德賽太空飛行器傳回地球。

Latest news from Mars!
NASA's InSight has sent signals to Earth indicating that its solar panels are open and collecting sunlight on the Martian surface. Solar array deployment ensures the spacecraft can recharge its batteries each day.
The Instrument Deployment Camera (IDC), located on the robotic arm of InSight lander, took this picture of the Martian surface on Nov. 26, 2018, the same day the spacecraft touched down on the Red Planet. The camera's transparent dust cover is still on in this image, to prevent particulates kicked up during landing from settling on the camera's lens.
This image was relayed from InSight to Earth via NASA's Odyssey spacecraft, currently orbiting Mars.
