InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, is a Mars lander designed to study Mars’ interior structure answers key questions about the early formation of rocky planets in our inner solar system – Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

The lander uses cutting edge instruments, to look deep beneath the surface and seek the understanding of the processes that formed the terrestrial planets. The InSight mission was delayed because issues during verification.

In 2016, when JPL needed to fabricate parts to recover from these issues, they chose ZIN. Between March and October of that year, we revised designs, procured, and inspected SEIS flexprint assemblies for JPL.

As we celebrate the landing of InSight, we want to congratulate our ZIN team! ZIN Technologies was acquired by Voyager Space in March 2023.
