| Description | Geophone Nodes are self-contained seismic data recorders that can measure seismic waves both passive and those generated by a source e.g Hammer and a plate. |

Summary
The self-contained light weight Geophone units can record subtle seismic waves passively and from an active source for more than 50 continuous days. Using these nodes allows a robust deployment of a seismic survey along with a simple hammer source or passive source can allow the detection of shallow aquifers by detecting changes in seismic impedance (velocity x density in the subsurface).
Objectives
It is essential to know if there is water present in Mars shallow subsurface. This experiment will utilize a sensitive self-contained geophones to record both active and passive seismic signal to delineate shallow aquifers. The experiment will highlight the deployment of self-contained geophone units for subsurface investigation.
