Summary

Description

English: Mars Cube One (MarCO) is a pair of cereal box-sized spacecraft that were launched in 2018 along with NASA’s Mars lander InSight.

The two tiny CubeSats will help relay communications during InSight's entry, descent, and landing phases. The 6U CubeSats, named 'Mars Cube One' (MarCO), are identical. They measure 60×10×10 cm with one of them serving as backup. They will fly by Mars during the landing phase and relay InSight‍‍'‍s telemetry in real time.

MarCO is a technology capability demonstration of a communications relay system.
