The Lunar Seismic Profiling Experiment (LSPE) was a lunar science experiment, deployed by astronauts on the lunar surface in 1972 as part of Apollo 17. The goal of the LSPE was to record the seismic response generated by a variety of sources including the detonation of eight explosive charges, the ascent propulsion system on the lunar module and any natural sources.[1]
