NASA Adapts Mars InSight Tech to Measure Moonquakes

TL;DR Summary
NASA is set to deploy the Farside Seismic Suite (FSS), featuring two advanced seismometers adapted from the InSight Mars mission, to the Moon's far side in 2026. This mission aims to provide the first seismic data from the Moon's far side and enhance understanding of lunar and planetary formation. The FSS will be delivered by a lunar lander under NASA's CLPS initiative and will operate for at least 4½ months, offering insights into the Moon's internal activity and structure.
