NASA's mission to measure the magnitude of earthquake in Mars

US Space Research Organization NASA launched a spacecraft to measure Mars's earthquake levels. NASA thinks Earthquake information can be found in the interior structure of the planet. The launch of Insight, a spacecraft from the Vanderbarg airfield in the state of California, was launched on Saturday at 4:30 pm local time.

According to the BBC, Insight is going to land in the solar planet Mars in November in November this year. It will then install the earthquake measuring instruments in the earthquake. The plane will also set up the sensor made by the UK. An earthquake measurement device will give information about Mars earthquake 'Marsquack' to Earth scientists. After comparison with Earth, there is also information on the level of stone layers in Mars's internal structure.

According to NASA, researchers will try to determine the structure of the earth under the earthquake level. The information obtained after this will be compared to similar information on Earth. Trying to know how the world was born 460 million years ago.

"When the seismic wave flows around Mars, the machine can collect information about the waves flowing through different levels of stones," said Bruce Bennitt, chief of Insight mission. After getting information related to seismograph, scientists can learn about the structure of the rock. When we get many information from various Marsquaques, in all, we can create a 3D image inside Mars.

Earlier, NASA sent Mars Seismometer to Viking Lander in the 1970s. But during that time the operation failed. Because the wave measuring instruments were placed in the body of the space. As a result, they could not accurately measure the earth's vibration. The tremors that were detected were mostly the vibration of the navy.

Now the question is, how many earthquakes can be measured as long as the seismometers are active in Mars? Scientists are convinced that in a year they can detect dozens of vibration. But the majority of them do not have more than 3 on the Richter scale.

Insight is taking the seismometers that Mars has made, France. These are broadband sensors, which will detect low frequencies. And the three UK microscomometers that the UK has provided will work to identify high frequency waves.
