- Abstract
- The InSight mission landed on Mars in November of 2018 and completed installation of a seismometer (SEIS) on the surface about two months later [1]. In addition to SEIS, InSight carries a diverse geophysical observatory including a heat flow and physical properties package (HP3 ), a geodesy (planetary rotation dynamics) experiment (RISE) and a suite of environmental sensors measuring the magnetic field and atmospheric temperature, pressure and wind (APSS). For approximately 2 years, SEIS has been providing near-continuous seismic monitoring of Mars, with background noise levels orders of magnitude lower than that achievable on the Earth. Since the first detection of a marsquake in April of 2018, the SEIS team has identified more than 450 events that appear to be of tectonic origin. We present a summary of observations and results from the SEIS instrument as well as a summary of other geophysical observations made by InSight during the past 2 years.
