Alan: What are the instruments used?

Pearl: To achieve this it carries three scientific instruments such as seismometer « SEIS » (for Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure); an « HP3 » probe (for Heat Flow and Physical Property Package) and a measuring instrument « RISE » (for Rotation and Interior Structure Experiment).

67

INSIGHT - LAUNCH - OUTSIDE. NIGHT Alan: What is the function of the probe?

Pearl: The « HP3 » probe must penetrate three to five meters deep from the ground for the measurement of heat fluxes from the planet’s nucleus and indications on the composition of the soil and its density. « HP3 » is designed and produced by the German space agency « DLR » (for « Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt »).

Alan: What is the function of the measuring instrument?

Pearl: The measuring instrument « RISE » is used to observe the oscillations of the planet during its rotation, from the observation of Doppler-Fizeau effect on communications between InSight and the Earth, under the influence of the sun and two natural satellites of Mars. This should make it possible to know the distribution and the composition (solid/liquid, chemical elements) of the internal masses of the planet.

68

INSIGHT - SEISMOMETER - IMAGE Alan: Who designed the seismometer « SEIS »?

Pearl: This seismometer (30 kg mass in total) was designed and produced by CNES, which provided the project management of the experiment. The designers of « SEIS » want to solve the problem by using surface waves (vertical) as well as volume (vertical and horizontal).

Alan: Who took charge of its development?

Pearl: Aerospace Electronics and Instruments Laboratory « AEIL » of the Geophysical Institute of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich « EPFZ » developed the electronics for data acquisition and seismometer control; it is the specialists of the Swiss Seismological Service « SED » of the same EPFZ who will analyze the data to develop a catalog of Martian seismicity.

69

INSIGHT - CNES - PARIS - IMAGE Alan: Who are they responsible for determining the internal structure catalogs of Mars?
