The Last Days of Mars InSight

This paper tells the story of the Mars InSight mission, and its last days. While the operation of the lander was meant to become regular and simplify over time, challenges from the dusty Martian environment and the HP ³ Mole recovery efforts were anything but routine. However, the dedicated operations team managed to keep the lander operating longer than originally predicted, thus enabling scientists to answer important questions about the Martian interior and placing tighter constraints on several geophysical parameters.
