Applied Physics and Mathematics Annotation << Back SEISMIC GEOPHYSICS EXPLORATION OF SOLAR SYSTEM: ACTIVE SEISMOLOGY O.B. KHAVROSHKIN, V.V. TSYPLAKOV, A.V. BOGDANOV Existing methods of seismic exploration of the Moon, the planets and moons of the giants planets are severely limited by temporary and weight limits which makes obtaining the necessary key information about the internal structure of a celestial body is almost impossible. So, for a detailed study of the Moon including the central zone is necessary to conduct seismic profi le relevant observations and or the creation of seismic small aperture groups. Seismic equipment for the duration of eff ective work on Mercury, Venus, Jupiter’s satellites, and many do not exceed a few hours. There are in addition actual demand from new expeditions simultaneous geologicalgeophysical monitoring and delivery of the soil sample from Moon to Earth. For all of the above requirements for operation and to achieve these scientifi c goals are ballistic Barrel System (BBS) of diff erent modifi cations: the block light mortars, central trunk with service equipment and special purpose penetrators, propellant loading of store. Propelling charges for seismic profile measurements performed by the scheme resilient compact body capable of repeatedly refl ected from the surface of a celestial body devoid of atmosphere. Depending on the type and scientifi c tasks expedition circuit formed ballistic system. For example, BSS based on light mortars can provide a shortexamination of the internal structure of Europe for 40…50 min from the moment of landing. Another option BSS can ensure the delivery of the penetrator with the lunar soil to Earth, and / or throw a special type mikrorover to any area of the moon. For the implementation of the existing layout of the installation on the basis of mortars and / or BBS obtained the calculated ratios and working formulas for the conceptual design and operation of ballistic systems. The proposed system is reliable, anti-shock performance, easy to use, requires substantial investment.
