The spacecraft will plunge through the thin Martian atmosphere,
heat-shield first, and use a parachute to slow down.
Then, it will fire its retro rockets to slowly descend to the surface.
On a tiny chip my name (Richard G. Abbenbroek) which is also among 2.4 million names
that will be on Mars when InSight touches down and will remain there for an eon or two.
Once on the surface, the earth lander InSight will study the deep interior of Mars
to advance our understanding of the early history of all rocky planets, including Earth.
