NASA’s Mars InSight Lander's Drill Runs Into A Rocky Hurdle

Description

According to a report by Digital Trends, the Mars InSight lander ran into trouble this week with its mission to drill down into the surface to measure heat from inside the planet. The lander's probe, part of the Heat and Physical Properties Package, was supposed to dig up to 16 feet down into the surface so it could collect accurate data on temperatures.
