So proud of my wife @aram_hamidi for receiving the prestigious Voyager Award in recognition of her extraordinary efforts in preventing the loss of NASA’s Mars InSight lander. A few months ago, the spacecraft was forced to go into safe mode due to an onboard anomaly, meaning all of its non-essential systems were shut down, and we were faced with high chances of losing the spacecraft. Aram and the team worked tirelessly to detect, identify and self-diagnose the root cause of the anomaly, and were able to re-establish communications and command the spacecraft to exit the safe mode and resume normal operations. NASA's InSight spacecraft has been studying Mars' interior since 2018 to learn how other worlds, including Earth-like exoplanets around other stars, evolve. InSight is now in an extended mission listening for Marsquakes that will help us learn more about what lies beneath the surface. The InSight's scientific mission will come to an end later this summer, and the spacecraft will be entirely inoperable by the end of this year after it loses power. @nasa @nasajpl #NASA #JPL #Mars #insightlander #Explore #marsquakes #Space #Rocket #Spacecraft #Robot
