Rumblings deep down in Mars
Bern, 3.5.2018 - On 5 May the US lander ‘InSight’ will commence its journey to Mars from California. Its aim is to gather data to enable a better understanding of the formation and evolution of the Red Planet. One of the key instruments on the NASA mission is a seismometer, which was developed and built under the lead of France together with Germany, Switzerland, the UK and the USA. Thanks to the knowledge, expertise and experience of geophysicists and engineers from the ETH Zurich, working with private industry, that has flowed into the electronic brain of the seismometer, Swit-zerland is once again part of a space mission from which ground-breaking results are expected.
