• The Moon holds a particular place on this prospective exercise, including with the context of human mission. • Establishing a seismic network operating several years on the Moon must be the first priority, with the development of a new generation of Artemis Lunar Surface module. • Beside of the completion of the Moon structure understanding, which may be done in the next few years thanks to the effort of US and (or) China we expect the seismology to become also (as it is on Earth) a standard tool for In Situ Resources Utilization (ISRU), for mining water ice of other minerals of interest.

Science Objectives Preparing for human occupation Crust Water Confirm the GRAIL lunar crustal models and better anchor it with seismic data ? Find sustainable sources of water in the subsurface What is the vertical & lateral structure of the lunar crust interior and how did it develop? What is the nature of the Moon's crustal asymmetry, Minerals what caused it ? Find Minerals in the subsurface Mantle What is the composition, structure, and variability of the lunar mantle? Is there an undifferentiated lower mantle ; if so, what was its role in lunar magmatism?

• Knowledge of its interior may hold the key to the understanding of its unique properties, such as its dense and hot carbon dioxide atmosphere and apparent lack of plate tectonics

• However, the temperature (400°C) and pressure (90 atm) at the Venus surface are not compatible with the state of the art of planetary seismometer

In order to describe the various seismo-acoustic rays propagating in ice and water layers, a nomenclature is adopted where P represents a compressional wave in the ice shell, S a shear wave in the ice shell, and where C is an acoustic wave in the subsurface ocean that includes reflec- tion from water–mantle interface. Following this convention, appropriate letters are added consecutively when an acoustic ray reflects from or transmits through a given environmental interface. A PS wave, for example, is a compressional wave that departs from the source, reflects as a shear wave at the ice–water interface and arrives at the receiver. A PCS wave (Lee et al, 2003) Fig. 8.

ILSA has been designed to identify acceleration as low as 100 ng /√Hz with a dynamic range of ±0.5 g and a bandwidth of 40 Hz. The dynamic range is met by using two sensors — a coarse-range sensor and a fine-range sensor.

Geophysics NF5 (Venus) Step 4 : Long term : planetary defense system

• Deriving from small bodies exploration

• Another use of the understanding of small bodies seismology is planetary defense;

• By helping to determine the internal structure of potentially hazardous asteroids (PHAs), seismic techniques can help evaluate the threat and the potential efficiency of a planned mitigation action

• A systematic survey of PHAs (as soon as they are discovered) with small CubeSat size probes including a seismometer a gyroscopic payload and a beacon to precisely track their location would definitely be a part of a planetary wide defense system. Step 4 : Long, long term : planetary wide sensors

• In the previous discussion, we have considered the use of seismic techniques with a performance level close to what has already been achieved for Apollo or Insight (typically 10-10 m/s2/Hz). Improving the detector performance by several orders of magnitude -which is technically possible with optical interferometry techniques - would enable the measurement of gravitational waves – on a planetary scale.

• All planets without atmosphere can be the place of remote sensing long period seismology, if very precise ranging ( below nm) can be made between slow orbiting S/C and surface reflectors.
