NASA returns to the Red Planet

For the first time in six years, a NASA spacecraft is headed for Mars, scheduled to touch down on the planet's surface Monday afternoon.

NASA launched its InSight Mission lander, aiming for one of the duller parts of Mars' dusty surface, a vast lava plain called Elysium Planitia. NASA refers to the area as "the biggest parking lot on Mars."

If all goes according to plan, InSight will record "Marsquakes" and measure the planet's upper layer heat flow.

Only 40 percent of all Mars-related missions have been successful, and NASA is the only program to have successfully landed on Mars. The most recent event was in 2012 when the Curiosity Rover headed for the red planet to figure out whether the planet had ever been suitable for life.

Two years ago the European Space Agency unsuccessfully tried to put a lander on Mars, but a glitch sent the probe to the ground.

Now NASA's InSight lander is scheduled to touch down Monday, Nov. 26, around 3 p.m.

To give everyone a chance to see the latest discoveries of Mars, NASA is offering live coverage of the event online. Coverage will begin around 2 p.m. Check out the video below to watch.
