Test Image of InSight Deck and Calibration Target Before Launch

This image of the deck of NASA's InSight lander - where the camera's rectangular calibration target can be seen in the middle - was taken by the Instrument Deployment Camera during the assembly, test and launch operations phase at Lockheed Martin Space, Denver. The Instrument Deployment Camera is attached to the spacecraft's robotic arm. For more on the calibration target see https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA22540.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages InSight for NASA's Science Mission Directorate in Washington. InSight is part of NASA's Discovery Program, managed by the agency's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The InSight spacecraft was built and tested by Lockheed Martin Space.
