		</div><p>Nasa has called off its next Mars mission because of a leak in a science instrument.</p>
<p>The Insight spacecraft was supposed to take off in March and land on the red planet later in the year.</p>
<p>But Nasa said managers have suspended the launch because of an air leak in one of two prime science instruments, a seismometer which belongs to the French Space Agency.</p>
<p>It was supposed to ship to the southern California launch site next month. Nasa said attempts to fix the leak have failed.</p>
<p>The lander is designed to examine the geology of Mars in depth.</p>
<p>Launch opportunities for Mars only occur every two years.</p>
<p>It is not clear whether Nasa has cancelled the mission entirely or delayed it until 2018.</p>
