The transportation canister containing NASA's InSight spacecraft awaits transport to the Astrotech payload processing facility following its arrival on Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, aboard a U.S. Air Force C-17 cargo plane. The InSight mission is scheduled to launch aboard a United Launch Alliance Atlas V 401 rocket from Space Launch Complex 3E in March 2016 and land on Mars in September 2016. InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, will study processes that formed and shaped Mars
