So..... confession.... I'm as excited by the two MarCO spacecraft as I am about InSight. The opportunities for science from platforms of this size across the solar system is incredible.pic.twitter.com/or5pACl7wk

From Page 56 of https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/press_kits/insight/download/mars_insight_launch_presskit.pdf … . "If successful, the twins, MarCO-A and MarCO-B, will fly separately towards Mars and potentially pass the planet at about 2,175 miles (3,500 kilometers) away just as InSight is landing"
