2018 Mars Insight Trajectory Reconstruction and Performance from Launch Through LandingThe InSight mission successfully launched to Mars on an Atlas V 401 launch vehicle from the Western Test Range (WTR) at Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) at 04:05:00 PDT on May 5th, 2018 and landed in the Elysium Planitia Region on November 26th, 2018. Data confirming nominal touchdown was received at 11:52:59 AM PST. This paper summarizes in detail the actual vs. predicted performance of the InSight spacecraft and all associated assets in terms of launch vehicle events, injection performance, DSN performance, cruise performance, and Entry, Descent, and Landing events.
