A modular integrated suite of instruments and software known as the construction resource utilization explorer (CRUX) is being developed for the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to provide semiautonomous reconnaissance of the lunar and planetary surfaces [Johnson, JB et. al. , 2005]. One component of the CRUX, the seismic profiler (SEIP) instrument, is described in this paper. The hardware is described and examples of synthetic and real (Earth) seismic data are presented and discussed. Because of the advances in the electronic hardware and digital analysis methods that have occurred since the Apollo lunar missions, this instrument will have the flexibility to gather and analyze seismic data in a number of different ways to enhance the usefulness of the seismic information.
