Analysis of Martian seismic data recorded by the InSight mission revealed that the liquid iron core of Mars is surrounded by a layer of molten silicate 150 km thick, resulting in a smaller and denser core than previously suggested. (Graphic: Thibaut Roger, NCCR Planet S / ETH Zurich)

It turned out that the lid of the tank was stuck with a lump of soil and did not close. The decision made was to reduce as much as possible various operations and store the material as quickly as possible. In addition, two facilities that were essential for taking the soil samples and which were no longer essential were disconnected from the spacecraft. These actions made it possible to close the lid of the tank

For the past five years it has been circling Tzedek and transmitting to Israel a huge amount of photographs and information related to Tzedek. Since it has a large supply of fuel left, there are those who are thinking of extending its stay around Tedek. The intention is to study the large moons of the planet Io, Europa and Ganymede as well as the rings of Jupiter
