#askNASA Will there be any planned surface impacts of known force—like when Saturn V upper stages impacted the moon—for @NASAInSight to study geologic structure or will it detect seismic motion passively?
Replying to @LaunchComplex
No, InSight's seismometer is designed to detect meteorite impacts. It is so sensitive, it can detect tremors that are smaller than a hydrogen atom!https://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/insight/spacecraft/instruments/seis/ …
