AB  - In November 2018, the InSight lander successfully touched down in the Elysium Planitia plain on Mars. Since then, two scientific instruments were deployed directly onto the surface of Mars: (1) SEIS, a package consisting of two three-component seismic sensors and (2) HP3, the heat flow and physical properties package. HP3 includes a self-hammering penetrator (mole) that hammers itself into the subsurface of Mars to a maximum depth of five meters. The mole hammering generates seismic signals that are recorded by SEIS and can be used to image the shallow subsurface just below the landing site. Even though not included in the level-one mission’s objectives, this opportunistic seismic experiment is, to the best of our knowledge, the first active seismic experiment ever conducted on a different planet. Here, we discuss the most important aspects of the implementations of this opportunistic experiment.
