[SSS07-04] Recent Progress in Planetary Seismology
★Invited Papers
Keywords:Planetary seismology, Apollo, InSight, Moon, Mars
Seismology is now broadly applied to extraterrestrial planetary bodies. For example, on the Moon, a seismic network was constructed on the nearside over the course of the Apollo lunar seismic experiments (1969 – 1977), bringing us the knowledge of seismicity and the internal structure of the Moon (e.g., Nakamura et al., 1982; Garcia et al., 2019; Nunn et al., 2020). Interestingly, even half a century after the operation terminated, still new moonquakes have been discovered, and progress has been made continuously (e.g., Knapmeyer-Endrun & Hammer, 2015; Onodera, 2024).
The latest breakthrough in planetary seismology was NASA’s InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) mission (e.g., Banerdt et al., 2020; Lognonné et al., 2023), which was operated on Mars from 2018 to 2022. Seismic detections on Mars enhanced the idea that the red planet is geologically active and blazed a trail to the studies of seismicity and the internal structure. All these contributions not only expanded the application of seismology but also enabled us to compare different planets from the seismological aspect. Now, in response to the successful operation of InSight, space agencies all over the world are moving to the internal exploration of planets (e.g., NASA’s Farside Seismic Suite, ISRO’s Chandrayyan-3, CNSA’s Chang’E-7 to the Moon, and NASA’s Dragonfly to Titan), and further development is expected in this field.
In the presentation, we will overview the progress in planetary seismology by referring to the key studies on the Apollo lunar and InSight Martian seismic data, respectively. Furthermore, we will introduce upcoming seismic explorations on extraterrestrial planets.
