Several seismic experiments were deployed on the Moon by the astronauts during the Apollo missions. The experiments began in 1969 with Apollo 11, and continued with Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17. Instruments at Apollo 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 remained operational until the final transmission in 1977. These remarkable experiments provide a valuable...

An international team of researchers gathered, with the support of the Interna-tional Space Science Institute (ISSI), (1) to review seismological investigations of the lunarinterior from the Apollo-era and up until the present and (2) to re-assess our level of knowl-edge and uncertainty on the interior structure of the Moon. A companion paper...

Meteoroid impacts shape planetary surfaces by forming new craters and alter atmospheric composition. During atmospheric entry and impact on the ground, meteoroids excite transient acoustic and seismic waves. However, new crater formation and the associated impact-induced mechanical waves have yet to be observed jointly beyond Earth. Here we...
