Polski jest tylko mechanizm udarowy w "krecie", będącym częścią HP3. Reszta jest niemiecka.
No wlasnie, Polacy sie strasznie chwala no bo jakis tam powod jest ale chwalac sie trzeba zawsze miec wzglad na calosc mechanizmu i wklad innych, tutaj zreszta notka na ten temat pochodzaca od Niemca Dr.Spohn ktory jest glownym naukowcem od HP3. Radze to przeczytac, interesujace, tak dla ogolnej perspektywy.
Calosc do wgladu tutaj:

Unfortunately, this article is misleading and not telling quite what has really been going on!
It is not Astronika's KRET that flies to Mars onboard the InSight mission but a "mole" as part of the Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package, in short HP-cubed. The "mole" is a highly sophisticated, space qualified instrument that has been designed, intergrated and tested by and at the German Aerospace Center DLR. Parts of the mole come from DLR but also from a number of industrial and institutional partners. Among the most importan parts is indeed Astronika's hammer mechanism designed by Jurek Grygorczuk and his colleagues and built in Poland with parts from CBK, Warsaw and other Polish companies and the tip of the mole. The hammer mechanims is driven by a motor from Maxxon in Switzerland, its outer hull has been manufactured by the Gerhards company in Bremen. There are a damping system and a tiltmeter from DLR. ASTRO in Berlin has helped to improve the design of the backcap of the mole with all its sensitive instruments and cablings. The company Magson from Berlin has designed and built the electronics. All the thermal sensors in the mole and on the tether (the tape-shaped tail) including a infrared radiometer have been built by DLR, some with the help of the german Andus company. While the hammer mechanism may have been designed in three months, the development of the complete instrument including qualification, software and the science planning took six years. The complete instrument will be operated by the German Aeropsace Center DLR who is also leading the science evaluation with myself as the investigation lead.
We at DLR have great respect for our colleagues from Poland and have enjoyed working with them for many years going back to the MUPUS project onboard Rosetta Philae. We believe that collaboration on space projects requires giving credit to all partners involved according to their contribution!
