  InSight Blazes Through Top of Martian Atmosphere ›

  Updated at 11:47 AM PT
  NASA's InSight has begun its entry, descent and landing phase at Mars. Within seven minutes of entering the atmosphere, the spacecraft is expected to deploy its parachute, separate from its heat shield, pop out its landing legs, turn on its landing radar and start firing its retrorockets as it separates from its back shell. Touchdown is expected around 11:54 a.m. PST (2:54 p.m. EST). Optional text: If the MarCO technology demonstration is not relaying data about InSight’s milestones, this does not affect whether InSight itself completes these activities.
