Planetary Interiors Constrained by Key Laboratory Experiments
The knowledge of interiors of rocky planets of our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) is important for understanding their formation, present state, and evolution. The comprehension of differences and similarities in the internal constitution and processes will shed a new light on the origin and evolution of the solar system. Space missions are invaluable to this planetary quest. Yet, only geodesy data so far provided constraints on planetary deep interiors. Seismic observations on planetary bodies other than Earth are limited to the Apollo records for the Moon. The main objective of the forthcoming InSight mission is to place a seismometer on Mars to study its interior. However,…
