Description

Join Caltech and The Planetary Society as the newest visitor from Earth lands on the Red Planet. InSight is the first robotic explorer built to study the interior of Mars and take the planet's vital signs, including its pulse and its temperature. Watch NASA’s live coverage of the landing, which will come from the InSight Team at the Caltech-managed Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Mat Kaplan of The Planetary Society’s Planetary Radio series will host a panel of experts who will provide additional commentary on the event on the Beckman Auditorium stage.

This a free, public event. Light refreshments will be provided.

Doors open at 10:30 a.m. Touch down on Mars is expected around noon, with the first images expected soon thereafter.

Seating will be on a first come, first serve basis. An RSVP does NOT guarantee entry. Once the venue is at capacity, we will not be allowed to admit additional people on the list. We recommend that you arrive to take your seat by 10:45 a.m.

Support for this event is provided by Caltech's Office of Strategic Communications and the Campbell Mars Exploration Fund at The Planetary Society.

Tips on Food

Mars InSight will land at lunchtime, so here are some food tips for attendees.

First, while food and beverages are not permitted inside Beckman Auditorium, free light refreshments will be available outside for those who want a snack. For anyone who needs something more substantial, please plan to bring a lunch which you may eat outside the Auditorium.

You will be able to exit and return to the Auditorium during the event as needed.
