InSight:
IDA (Instrument Deployment Arm)
|
September 29, 2023.
InSight Release 18 includes new
IDA video and calibration collections as well as
revisions to the IDA document collection. See the
Release Notes for details.
|
The InSight Instrument Deployment Arm
(IDA) has two primary objectives.
The first is to point the Instrument
Deployment Camera (IDC) for imaging of the
Martian terrain surrounding the lander.
The second is to deploy the InSight
science instruments from the lander deck to
the Martian surface. The IDA
archive includes raw sensor data that can be
used to reconstruct these arm movements.
Additionally, the IDA may be used to
alter the terrain to prepare it for
deployment of the science instruments and to
perform soil mechanics experiments. The
IDA archive includes calibrated data and
video products for the soil mechanics
experiments.
