Astronauts left the last seismometers on the moon’s surface during the Apollo program 50 years ago. University of Arizona planetary scientist Angela Marusiak says her team is developing the newest device to detect moonquakes and they hope to have it deployed during NASA’s upcoming Artemis 3 mission. 

Angela Marusiak spoke with Tim Swindle, professor emeritus in planetary science at the University of Arizona.
