“…The seismometer for ExoMars (SEM) is designed to measure microvibrations of the Martian surface, its quasi-static motions and variations in the gravitational field (Manukin et al, 2021). This is a new development of IKI RAS with the participation of the Schmidt Institute of the Physics of the Earth of Russian Academy of Sciences.…”

Scientific objectives, instruments, and measurement program of the scientific instrumentation of the Kazachok stationary landing platform of the State Corporation Roscosmos and the European Space Agency (ESA) ExoMars-2022 project are presented. The scientific objectives of research on the landing platform included the long-term climate monitoring, the studies of the atmospheric composition, the mechanisms for dust lifting and related electrical phenomena, atmosphere–surface interactions, the subsurface water abundance, monitoring the radiation situation, and the study of Mars internal structure. To address these problems, 11 Russian and two European instruments with a total mass of 45 kg were built, tested and integrated into the spacecraft. These include a television camera system, meteorological complexes, a suite for studying dust and related electrical phenomena, optical spectrometers and an analytical complex for studying the atmospheric composition, a microwave radiometer, the neutron and gamma spectrometers for surface research, a seismometer, magnetometers and a Mars proper motion experiment to study its internal structure. Although the ExoMars-2022 project has been discontinued, the scientific objectives of the landing platform have not lost their relevance, and the technical solutions and developments implemented in scientific equipment are of interest and promising for further Mars exploration.

The article deals with the main problems of constructing a seismic accelerometer for measurements on the planets of the solar system. Data on the main parameters and features of a seismometer for measurements on Mars (SEM instrument) are presented, including the use of elastic braces to obtain a uniaxial sensor of primary information and the introduction of magnetic rigidity for precise setting of a test mass under conditions of free fall acceleration on a selected planet. The issues of using the design of the SEM instrument for measurements on the Moon (SEISMO-LR instrument), as well as the possibility of installing the instrument on the descent vehicle due to the lack of an atmosphere on the Moon and, consequently, wind loads, the issues of possible damping and distortion of small surface oscillations by the descent vehicle are discussed. It is shown that instruments developed for planetary research could be used for measurements on Earth.
