NASA on Sunday (Sept. 15) won a second Emmy for 2019 in honor of the space agency's epic coverage of its InSight landing on Mars last year.

The space agency received a Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Original Interactive Program its innovative use of "news, web, education, television and social media efforts" during the November 2018 landing of the InSight Mars lander on the Red Planet. The InSIght Mars lander (the name is short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) is studying Mars with seismometers and more to understand how the interior of the planet works.

The Emmy win for Mars InSight comes one day after NASA nabbed another Emmy for coverage of SpaceX's first Crew Dragon test flight to the International Space Station in March of this year.
