NASA’s Insight spacecraft successfully landed on Mars Monday afternoon.
Insight launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base this past May and according to NASA it was Vandenberg’s first launch mission to another planet.
The spacecraft landed around 12:00 p.m. PST on Mars after traveling for six months. The international effort cost $1 billion and was the first time in six years that NASA attempted to land on Mars, reports the NASA.
