The Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) was made by LockheedMartin. It is a lander, with different payload instruments. It was launched on 5 May 2018 and landed on Mars on 26 November 2018. The InSight station is equipped with two main instruments designed in Europe: the SEIS broadband seismometer and the HP3 thermometer, whose probe will descend to a depth of 5 meters to measure the heat flow that escapes from the planet. Thanks to them, scientists hope to finally be able to determine whether Mars' nucleus is solid or liquid and understand why it does not have an active tectonic like on Earth or how the planet has lost its magnetic field.

It was on a special occasion that these aircraft were able to fly together in formation. On 2 December 2018, in honour of the United Arab Emirates national day, a real air show was held in Dubai . Les avions en formation (source:samchui.com)
The year 2018 was a year rich in aeronautical events. Mergers, certifications of new aircraft, new orders and deliveries, which have increased in pace, have marked this year. Here is a retrospective of the year 2018. The first flight of the A330-800 neo (source:Airbus)
2019 seems to be a busy year for aeronautics and air transport. New aircraft, increased production rates, and even an electric aircraft should mark the year. Gigantic airports are also expected to be built, notably in Istanbul, Turkey and Beijing, China. The first Boeing 777X on the assembly line (source:air cosmos)
