Conceptual DAS on the Moon (IMAGE)
Caption
A conceptual lunar fiber seismic network (Background lunar surface image from NASA). The base station provides space and power for the DAS interrogator, data processing unit and
telecommunicating system. The cables (yellow belt) can be deployed by a lunar rover. DAS uses the Rayleigh backscattered light by intrinsic fiber defects (red dots in the enlarged cable section) to detect the longitudinal strain.
