Scientific rationale and requirements for a global seismic network on Mars. Report of a workshop.
Abstract
Following a brief overview of the mission concepts for a Mars Global Network Mission as of the time of the workshop, the authors present the principal scientific objectives to be achieved by a Mars seismic network. They review the lessons for extraterrestrial seismology gained from experience to date on the Moon and on Mars. They discuss how particular types of seismic waves will provide the most useful information to address each of the scientific objectives, and this discussion provides the basis for a strategy for station siting. Finally, the authors define the necessary technical requirements for the seismic stations.
