By the end of 2018, 42 years after the landing of the two Viking seismometers on Mars,
InSight will deploy onto Mars' surface the SEIS (S eismic E xperiment for I nternal S tructure) …

Abstract The Interior exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy, and Heat Transport
(InSight) Mission will focus on Mars' interior structure and evolution. The basic structure of …

A planet's crust bears witness to the history of planetary formation and evolution, but for
Mars, no absolute measurement of crustal thickness has been available. Here, we …

Abstract The InSight (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat
Transport) mission landed in Elysium Planitia on Mars on 26 November 2018 and fully …

Martian meteorites are the only direct samples from Mars, thus far. Currently, there are a total
of 262 individual samples originating from at least 11 ejection events. Geochemical …

Although the majority of volcanic and tectonic activity on Mars occurred during the first 1.5
billion years of its geologic history, recent volcanism, tectonism and active seismicity in …

Analyses of seismic data from the InSight mission have provided the first in situ constraints
on the thickness of the crust of Mars. These crustal thickness constraints are currently limited …

Since early 2019, the InSight mission has proven that Mars is seismically active, with more
than 900 seismic events recorded. Among them, several events have characteristics close to …

We invert the Martian tidal response and mean mass and moment of inertia for chemical
composition, thermal state, and interior structure. The inversion combines phase equilibrium …

The present‐day thermal state, interior structure, composition, and rheology of Mars can be
constrained by comparing the results of thermal history calculations with geophysical …
