This project is designed to test field methodologies for geophysical deployments on planetary bodies. The main purpose is to conduct an analog study to the Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment (LSPE) during the Apollo 17 mission at Cinder Lake in the San Francisco Volcanic Field through GILA-MONSTER (predecessor of NASA SSERVI GEODES). The four nodal seismic sensors followed the same geometry as those used for LSPE. The project builds upon previous exploration activities by NASA at SFVF, and the active source seismology will also be used to understand how similar investigations can be conducted on the Moon and Mars.
