ETH Zurich professor Domenico Giardini spent his career studying earthquakes - once NASA InSight lands, he will get to study marsquakes. An Italian living in Switzerland, Domenico works with NASA’s international partners to provide electronics for the lander's seismometer.

Landing in November 2018, NASA's InSight will probe beneath the surface of Mars, study the planet's interior and shed light on how rocky planets - inside and outside our solar system - form.
