美国国家航空航天局（NASA）局长查尔斯·博尔顿（Charles Bolden）与法国国家太空研究中心（National Center of Space Studies of France, CNES）主席让-伊夫·勒加尔（Jean-Yves Le Gall）于星期一签署了一份协议，就美国国家航空航天局全称为“地震调查、测地学和热传递内部探索”（Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport）的 “洞察号”（InSight）火星着陆器的未来使命展开合作。
博尔顿说：“这份新协议旨在加强美国国家航空航天局与法国国家太空研究中心在行星科学研究方面的伙伴关系，推进与法国国家太空研究中心20多年来的火星探测合作。”
“洞察号”使命计划在2016年3月启动。它旨在研究火星的深层内部结构，并了解地球等岩石行星的演进形成过程。“洞察号”还将使用法国国家太空研究中心的内部结构地震试验（Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure, SEIS）仪器调查火星构造运动和陨石撞击的动力学原理。
与法国国家太空研究中心在内部结构地震试验仪器方面一道展开工作的合作伙伴包括德国航空航天中心（German Aerospace Center）、英国航天局（United Kingdom Space Agency）和瑞士航天局（Swiss Space Agency）（通过欧洲航天局（European Space Agency）参与合作）。

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden and Jean-Yves Le Gall, president of the National Center of Space Studies of France (CNES), signed an agreement Monday for cooperation on a future NASA Mars lander called the Interior Exploration Using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport (InSight) mission.
“This new agreement strengthens the partnership between NASA and CNES in planetary science research, and builds on more than 20 years of cooperation with CNES on Mars exploration,” Bolden said.
The InSight mission is planned for launch in March 2016. It is designed to study the planet’s deep interior and understand the evolutionary formation of rocky planets, including Earth. InSight also will investigate the dynamics of Martian tectonic activity and meteorite impacts using CNES’ Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) instrument.
Partners working with CNES on the SEIS instrument include the German Aerospace Center, the United Kingdom Space Agency, and the Swiss Space Office (through the European Space Agency).

InSight’s international science team is made up of researchers from Austria, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Poland, Spain, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
