has announced that the space agency.

The bug is in a seismograph that was provided by the French space program. The component would not be suitable for the harsh conditions on the red planet.

The launch of the InSight would take place in March. The spacecraft was to investigate the soil and temperature of Mars.

“Nasa remains fully committed to exploring Mars,” says the agency. “We will see over the coming months how we proceed.”
