Four smaller satellites called CubeSats, part of NASA's educational nano-satellite program, are to be released on the same mission.
Now that this concept has been proven, Clement added that future robotic missions may be inspired to use cubesats in this fashion.
Furthermore, CubeSats are able to perform as a test bed for new systems and core space technologies to be applied to space programmes.
An MIT team is working on a new aiming system that will allow CubeSats to use lasers for high-bandwidth communications with Earth.
This first success may push NASA and other space agencies to consider CubeSats as interesting tools for exploring the solar system.
An interesting detail is that in addition to InSight, the rocket launch mission also sent two small satellite CubeSats.
The growth of this segment can be attributed to the rise in small satellites and CubeSats launches, and space exploration activities.
Not much larger than a couple of loaves of bread, the MarCO-A and MarCo-B CubeSats will be deployed after InSight lifts off.
The representative of ITU explained that the remit of his organization involved protecting satellites(including CubeSats and small satellites) from harmful telecommunication interference.
According to NASA's announcement, the solid-state battery is only 2 millimeters to 3 millimeters thick, making it ideal for use with microsatellites, including CubeSats.
Both MarCOs are modified CubeSats, a type of standardized small satellite about the size of a cereal box used for space research.
CubeSats are miniature satellites first developed by California Polytechnic State University and Stanford University in 1999.
In five years, thousands of cubesats could be launched at a low cost.
On Monday afternoon, two CubeSats that were launched with InSight, MarCO-A and-B, will relay data about the landing in real-time.
As a result, the CubeSats will helplessly coast past the Red Planet after completing their mission.
Through a NASA educational program, CubeSats would be selected to piggyback on space missions.
Los Alamos National Laboratory built and launched several CubeSats into low-Earth orbit.
Most Cubesats use low-rate packet radios that operate between 1200 and 19200 bits per second.
Some considered CubeSats to be cost-effective science and technology platforms, in particular for emerging and developing countries and countries with limited budgets for space activities.
NASA sent the first two CubeSats into deep space, and has received radio signals including that all is well and working so far.
