Lunar seismology is the study of ground motions of the Moon and the events, typically impacts or moonquakes, that excite them. Several seismographic measuring systems have already been installed on the Moon and their data made available to scientists (such as those from the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package).

We present an overview of the seismic data available from four sets of experiments on the Moon: the Passive Seismic Experiments, the Active Seismic Experiments, the Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment and the Lunar Surface Gravimeter.

Sep 22, 2017 · The Apollo 11 seismometer returned data for just three weeks but provided a useful first look at lunar seismology. More advanced seismometers were deployed at the Apollo 12, 14, 15, and 16 landing sites and transmitted data to Earth until September 1977.

It reached the Moon with the Apollo 11 lunar module, which landed the first humans on the lunar surface in July, 1969. The Apollo 11 seismometer returned data for just three weeks, but provided a useful first look at lunar seismology.

Apr 29, 2020 · NASA hasn’t measured moonquakes since Apollo astronauts deployed a handful of measuring stations at various locations on the lunar surface and discovered unexpectedly that Earth’s only natural satellite was far from seismically inactive. A next-generation seismometer could be deployed autonomously, unlike the systems deployed in the past.

LUNAR SEISMOLOGY: A DATA REVIEW 3 and seismic missions to the Moon and Europa are in development from di erent space agencies. We present an overview of the seismic data available from four sets of experiments on the Moon: the Passive Seismic Experiments, the Active Seismic Experiments, the Lunar Seismic Pro ling Experiment and the Lunar Sur-

Aug 28, 2023 · Seismometer for a Lunar Network (SLN) • Internal lunar structure including mantle composition, stratification and possible overturn, and lateral structure. • Lunar mantle and core structure to infer thermal, petrological, and rotational history.

Aug 18, 2023 · We proposed practical solutions to minimize thermal effects on lunar seismometers by carefully selecting materials for the seismometer housing and spring suspension to balance shear modulus and thermal expansion coefficients.

Seismometers are stationary instruments that monitor the ground for seismic shaking induced by natural tectonism and meteorite impacts. Lunar seismology – what is it? The amount and distribution of seismicity (ground shaking), which can illuminate tectonic processes and quantify potential threats to future landed assets.

The seismometer onboard the LUNAR-A penetrators is a short-period electromagnetic type with a natural period of about 1 second; the output is proportional to the relative velocity between a moving coil and an internal magneto-static field. Its size is 50 mm in diameter, 50 mm in length and 350 g in weight. Though the principle of sensing is
