The Pale Red Dot
Here’s the first picture of #Mars taken by a CubeSat, thanks to our tiny #MarCO spacecraft, currently traveling to the planet behind @NASAInSight: https://go.nasa.gov/2AmiWCp pic.twitter.com/332N1Ysldi

There were 2 cube sats as I recall. Are they both in similar locations? Or are the images from the other one completely different?
The two CubeSats are officially called MarCO-A and MarCO-B but nicknamed "EVE" and "Wall-E" by their engineering team. This particular image is from MarCO-B and they're both traveling behind InSight.

They will not actually land on Mars right? Is this because they are not equipped to deal with the atmosphere? Or is it too great a distance? And where will their orbit take them? I really appreciate how much time you guys take to answer questions from non-scientists like me.
