NASA Hears MarCO CubeSats Loud And Clear from Mars

Honestly? I’m lost for words… two CubeSats (briefcase sized satellites) riding alongside the InSight Mars lander?

In space, taking pictures and they´re nicknamed EVE and WALL-E?

Come on (give me a break)!

MarCO-B, one of the experimental Mars Cube One (MarCO) CubeSats, took this image of Mars from about 4,700 miles (7,600 kilometers) away during its flyby of the Red Planet on Nov. 26, 2018. MarCO-B was flying by Mars with its twin, MarCO-A, to attempt to serve as communications relays for NASA’s InSight spacecraft as it landed on Mars.NASA/JPL-Caltech
