This parachute testing for NASA's InSight mission to Mars was
conducted inside the world's largest wind tunnel, at NASA Ames Research
Center, Moffett Field, California, in February 2015.
The wind tunnel is 80 feet (24 meters) tall and 120 feet (37 meters)
wide. It is part of the National Full-Scale Aerodynamics Complex,
operated by the Arnold Engineering Development Center of the U.S. Air
Force.
InSight, for Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations,
Geodesy and Heat Transport, is scheduled to launch in March 2016 and
land on Mars in September 2016. The lander will investigate the deep
interior of Mars to gain information about how rocky planets, including
Earth, formed and evolved.
Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is building the InSight
spacecraft. The InSight Project is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion
Laboratory, Pasadena, California, for the NASA Science Mission
Directorate, Washington. InSight is part of NASA's Discovery Program,
which is managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville,
Alabama.
