Future Artemis missions could use fiber-optic cables to monitor moonquakes Artemis missions may lay fiber-optic cables across the lunar surface to create a new seismic network for detecting and characterizing moonquakes. Researchers say distributed fiber sensing could fundamentally change lunar seismic monitoring by enabling denser, long-range measurements than existing seismometers.
