The American space agency Nasa says its InSight Mars lander is due to land on Monday and start its exploration of mars. 

Nasa's Project Manager, Tom Hoffman, says "[they’ll] be working on the final parameters they need over the next few days, so while everybody's off having turkey, there will still be a bunch of people at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory making sure it lands successfully”

InSight launched from Earth on the 5th of May has to hit a "keyhole" at the top of Mars' atmosphere that measures just 24km by 10km.
