Brave InSight Lander doing its best to free stuck heat probe from Martian soil
biggest science news breakthroughs 2018 mars insight scientific breathrough mem4

NASA's InSight lander has had a tough year, with its heat probe stuck in the Martian soil. Because the Martian soil has a different texture than what was expected, the drilling part of the probe, called the mole, can't grip into the soil and keeps sliding out when it tries to push downward. Now, the engineers at NASA are preparing to execute a plan to get the mole moving again using the scoop on the lander's robotic arm. The scoop will press down directly onto the end of the mole, called the back cap, which should hopefully provide enough force to keep the mole in place and stop it from backing out of the soil.

To come up with this procedure, the engineers have been experimenting with a model of the lander and the soil it sits on which is located here on Earth. By seeing what happens when they give commands to this engineering model, they can come up with the best and least risky way to execute commands on the real lander. Pushing on the back cap is potentially dangerous as it could damage the tether which connects the mole to the spacecraft, but the team has decided that they need to take that risk to continue with the mission.

NASA hasn’t been to the moon in almost 50 years. Now, it’s going back annually
2020 tech trends for the decade nasa artemis moon mission

NASA hasn’t been to the moon since 1972, but starting in 2021, the agency plans to make trips to the moon every year through 2030. 

The space agency laid out the plans in its Budget Estimates document for 2021. The first Artemis mission would be in 2021, but it would be uncrewed. Then, in 2022, a test crew flight will happen, followed by the Gateway space station, which is an outpost that would orbit the moon.
