space agency nasa is poised to launch its latest probe to mars the mars insight lander is that to be propelled to the red planet by a powerful atlas five rocket and is due to blast off from vandenberg air force base in calif it's blasting off right this moment in fact it's the first interplanetary mission to lift off from the u.s. west coast it's expected to take more than six months for the lander to reach mars and begin exploring the deep interior of the planet these are a live shot now from california a rocket launching into space it's expected regions. the long away way the launch comes after a two year delay due to equipment problems which also pushed up project cost to more than eight hundred million dollars the solar and battery powered lander is designed to operate for twenty six earth months or one year on mars. the inside lander will be the first to examine the internal structure of the planet mars scientists have been eager to gather data on the red planet's interior for decades. we know a lot about the surface of mars we know a lot about its atmosphere and even about its

bruce: ok, so the inside the lander is close to the equator of mars. all of our calculations of the stability of ice is that we do not expect ice to be present below insight. seismically, it is possible to detect ice but our experiment is not optimized for that kind of detection. if there was a very thick layer of ice, and by that i mean , fractions of a mile, not many feet, that would impact the size waves and allow us to tease that information out of the data. we really do not expect to have that as a part of this particular mission, because of the location we are going to. >> we can see it in the seismic conductivity. stephanie: aren't. ok, we have a question on the phone lines from irish television. go ahead. very much.nks, from dublin, the home of the man seismology, robert manis. i have a question. i am sorry but this new format has thrown me a little bit. if i could ask that the engineers and mr. greene or dr. green a question. going back to the first question of the session, what happened with the seismometer that caused the two year delay? and

arrays, we solar have the land o'lakes -- lander legs. about thelain this rocket but before that i want to say i am excited. i hope you are excited, too. are you excited to be going to mars? [applause] has been a labor of love for me for seven years. i have been on since the very beginning. i have worked hard to get to this point. i cannot describe how excited i am to see us at this point ready to go off to mars, ready to send this to another planet. it is going to be awesome. this is what we look like once we get deployed, fully ready to take science to mars. we start off a little different. right now we have these arrays. . these legs are all talked up. --tucked up. we have a heat shield and a back inll and a cruise stage all there. that is ready to go to mars. one of the cool things for me being a native californian is this is the first time we're doing an interplanetary launch from the west coast. we are breaking the monopoly the east coast has had on interplanetary launches so it is exciting for me to have that opportunity. i would l

nasa's first lander to mars since 2012 is due to launch on saturday morning from vandenberg air forcemars insight lander, that should land on mars on 26 november, will probe beneath the red planet's surface for the first time to uncover the secret of how it and other rocky planets formed. 0ur science correspondent victoria gill explains. admission to the red planet and the journey back in time. probing beneath the surface of mars, nasa's insight mission will take the pulse of the planet to work out how it formed more than a.5 billion years ago. 0nce formed more than a.5 billion years ago. once it is an it its vital solar panels, the robotic lander bill carefully put down its own scientific instruments which will map the deep structure of the planet. this will take the temperature of mars and analyse the structure of its core, one instrument and seismometers will pick up signals from ashun earthquakes and mars quakes. my previous missions, the most recent missions have been looking for water and habitability. this one is looking at how the planet it self is made up, how it is built. ea

the first probe landed on mars were the viking landers and these landers had a variety of different experimentoys it. these are measuring subtle vibrations from earthquakes so they have to get away from the lander, away from the vibrations of the lander itself as it does its thing and away from the wind so you embed it in the ground and the robot arm failed it. it hadfi stray vibrations from the mars wind and that sort of thing that muddied the readings. we learned a lot about wind on mars about that experiment which is not what it was aimed at but this will be the first time we get the seismological readings to tell us about the inside of the planet. the technology must have changed dramatically since the 19705. the journey itself will take some time so it is a while before it land5. some time so it is a while before it lands. yes, it will not arrive until november. the technology has changed. this is a small lightweight satellite. it is notjust the main payload lander in the rocket, it will bring with it two small cube sats, cube satellites, and it will speak to the cubesats and send the sig

brian: this has nothing to do with apollo eight, but you talked about the landers. a test pilot flipping the bird, as you would say, to the soviets. what is that story? robert: he was flying these interceptor missions, very daring missions out of iceland. his job was to guard protected areas and make sure the soviets id not encroach. these were fearsome airplanes he was flying. all these guys flew the most dangerous, cutting edge airplanes. he was up there and came across soviets very near the place they should not be. he got so close he could identify the colors of their eyes. because they were the enemy and because he believed in america like all the other astronauts did, he did what any patriot would do. he flipped them the bird. i don't know that the pilots, the soviet pilot knew what he was seeing. a long time later, after the report must have gone through kremlin and through so many levels of the soviet bureaucracy, they held up a sign -- i won't repeat what the sign said, but it was an answer to bill anders' gesture. brian: the liftoff was what day? robert: d
