Our team was invited to present new exciting results at the Centre for Planetary Habitability (PHAB, https://www.mn.uio.no/phab/english/) regarding the use of seismo-acoustic waves for planetary exploration and titled: “Revealing the structure of Venus’ interiors using planetary rumbles”.
Seismology has been remarkably successful in probing the interior structure of the Earth, the Moon, and more recently Mars. Could it achieve the same on Venus, and reveal what hides beneath the surface of this mysterious and hellish twin of Earth? Venus’ surface conditions make the deployments of ground-based seismometers challenging. Instead, several mission concepts have proposed to record venusquakes from above, leveraging the conversion of seismic waves into acoustic waves in the dense atmosphere. Could seismology be conducted from floating balloons, or through satellite imaging ? To explore this possibility, we gather insights from balloon campaigns on Earth and from modeling.
