Dr. Angela Marusiak
Assistant Research Professor
Over 50 years ago, Apollo astronauts installed the first extraterrestrial seismometers on the lunar surface. These instruments recorded thousands of moonquakes (earthquakes on the Moon). Now, we’re heading back to Moon with modern seismometers as part of the Artemis missions. Here I discuss what we learned from Apollo, what we can learn from Artemis, the implications for future exploration, how the University of Arizona is involved.
