This
image from InSight's robotic-arm mounted Instrument Deployment Camera
shows the instruments on the spacecraft's deck, with the Martian surface
of Elysium Planitia in the background.
The color-calibrated picture was acquired on Dec. 4, 2018 (Sol 8). In
the foreground, a copper-colored hexagonal cover protects the Seismic
Experiment for Interior Structure instrument (SEIS), a seismometer that
will measure marsquakes. The gray dome behind SEIS is the wind and
thermal shield, which will be placed over SEIS. To the left is a black
cylindrical instrument, the Heat Flow and Physical Properties Probe
(HP3). HP3 will drill up to 16 feet (5 meters) below the Martian
surface, measuring heat released from the interior of the planet. Above
the deck is InSight's robotic arm, with the stowed grapple directly
facing the camera.
To the right can be seen a small portion of one of the two solar panels
that help power InSight and part of the UHF communication antenna.
