Sep 11, 2018 at 12:01 comment added Heopps @Redliox I'm not a specialist in seismology (although I worked with exploration sesimic data). I suppose the 4-node seismology network is sufficient to deduce the location of source unambiguously in every case. I we know the source's location and travel times of different types of seismic waves - we can find velocities of the waves and as a result reveal the structure of Mars.
Sep 11, 2018 at 4:08 comment added Redliox Thank you for a fairly thorough answer. :) So a setup with at least one lander/instrument on the opposing hemisphere and the others at least hundreds if not a thousand kilometers apart from each other would suffice?
