| NAME |
SEISMIC EXPERIMENT FOR INTERIOR STRUCTURE
|
| TYPE |
SEISMOMETER
|
| DESCRIPTION |
The Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS) on InSight will collect precise measurements of quakes and other internal activity on Mars to better understand the planet's internal structure and meteorite flux. The instrument includes two independent 3-axis seismometers: a Very Broad Band (VBB) and a Short Period (SP) seismometer. The instrument package is deployed onto the surface and is covered by a thermal and wind shield to protect the instrument from thermal and wind induced noise. The package is connected to the lander by a flexible cable tether.
