> NASA will not launch its InSight spacecraft to Mars in March as
> originally planned, because of a leak in a French-built seismometer
> that is the spacecraft’s primary scientific instrument.
>
> Technicians at CNES, the French space agency, have worked for months
> to repair a leak in a vacuum seal on the seismometer. OnDecember 22,
> NASA announced that it would suspend the launch. The delay means that
> InSight will not go off in 2016, but will have to wait 26 months
> until the Earth-Mars orbital geometry is once again favourable for
> launching a mission to the red planet.
