(左上)阿波羅任務在月球上安置的幾個月震儀,其中Apollo
11僅工作了三周就壞了,Apollo月震數據主要來自于12, 14, 15和16,Apollo 17處安置了一個重力儀(Kawamura et
al.,2015)。(右上)四個月震儀觀測到的月震情況,到1977年四臺月震儀停止工作期間,共記錄下了12558次月震(包括9次人工月震)(Nakamura
et al., 1982)。(左下)目前認為的月球內部波速和密度隨深度的(粗略)關系(Weber et al.,
2011).(右下)月球內部結構(Wieczorek et al.,
2006),近月面四個綠色點(A12/14,A15,A16)表示阿波羅號安裝的四個月震儀的緯度。
哦對了,和火震儀一樣,熱流探測儀這事兒NASA也不是第一次干了,算是頗有經驗。阿波羅13、15、16和17號登月任務也都攜帶了熱流探測儀,不過只有15和17號安裝成功(13號壓根就沒登月直接回去了),而且阿波羅15號的熱流探測儀在鉆孔的過程中發現這里的風化層比預想得硬,鉆不動……結果探針并沒有插到計劃的深度。考慮到阿波羅15號的前車之鑒,這次洞察號選址的時候就充分考慮了測區的風化層厚度和巖石硬度(Warner
et al., 2017),確保可以鉆到5米那么深……
