Dusty demise for NASA Mars lander in July; power dwindling Dusty demise for NASA Mars lander in July; power dwindling A NASA spacecraft on Mars is headed for a dusty demise. The Insight lander is losing power because of all the dust on its solar panels. NASA said Tuesday it will keep using the spacecraft's seismometer to register marsquakes until the power peters out, likely in July. Then flight controllers will monitor InSight until the end of this year, before calling everything off. A NASA spacecraft on Mars is headed for a dusty demise.
