join us as we prepare to listen to the Moon.
More than 55 years after Apollo, a new generation of seismic experiments is about to land on the Moon. Between 2026 and 2027, three missions; Lunar Seismograph (CE-7) from CSA, FarSide Seismic Suite (FSS), and Lunar Environmental Monitoring Station (LEMS) from NASA; will form the first lunar seismic network since Apollo.
For the first time, these seismic “ears” will be paired with eyes in space and on Earth: telescopes capturing the flashes of meteoroid impacts, including those built by the ERC LT-FLASH project for the near side, ESA’s LUMIO nanosatellite watching the lunar farside, and high-resolution orbital imaging revealing fresh craters. Together, they will enable multi-messenger observations that combine seismic vibrations, optical flashes, and post-impact imaging.
This unique synergy will open a new era of lunar science, probing the Moon’s crust and mantle, tracking impact flux in the Earth; Moon system, and deepening our understanding of how craters form and how planetary surfaces evolve.

The goal of this workshop is:
The goal of this workshop is:
- To bring together the communities of LIFs observers, planetary seismologists of the FSS, LS and LEMS teams and planetary geologists searching for lunar fresh impacts in high-resolution imaging systems.
- To present the most recent science analysis on both lunar seismology, LIFs and fresh crater observations,with a focus on impact processes
- To demonstrate the needs for LIFs observations
- To enable future collaboration when data flows from seismic stations of different agencies operating on the Moon, likely in 2027 and later.
- To bring awareness to national agencies of the international character of joint LIFs-Seismic observations by an Earth-Moon network.
