Testing How InSight's Arm Will Push on Mars
In a JPL lab, a replica of NASA InSight's robotic arm presses with its scoop on crushed garnet near a replica of the spacecraft's self-hammering "mole." Engineers believe pressing like this on Martian soil may help the mole dig by increasing friction of the surrounding soil. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23276
