First image from InSight's Instrument Deployment Camera on Mars
First image from InSight's Instrument Deployment Camera on Mars InSight took this photo shortly after landing, at 14:04:35 local solar time. The camera is mounted on the robotic arm; the upper limb of the arm is at right, and lower limb just right of center. The arm's scoop is just right of center, and its grapple is just below center. The shiny box a left is the SEIS instrument, awaiting placement on the surface. A lossless PNG version is available here. NASA / JPL
