Abstract
Moonquakes are part of the lunar environment, which can impact lunar systems and structures. Lunar seismic activities were first detected during the Apollo missions. The strongest lunar seismic events detected had magnitudes estimated up to 5.5 on the Richter scale. Using Apollo moonquake data, many constrained models of the lunar interior were determined. An updated future lunar seismic network would be able to further constrain these estimates and improve the current understanding of the Moon’s structure. This network would consist of at least three stations and would potentially benefit from a fourth station located on the far side of the Moon and is known as the lunar geophysical network (LGN). Currently moonquakes are considered a low risk environmental condition, but this is subject to change with regards to long-term lunar bases and structures. Ground-based testing on Earth, simulating moonquakes and lunar environment conditions for lunar bases, rovers, robots, and other systems will benefit understanding how these lunar systems and structures will function on the Moon. Testing should take into consideration the current AIT capabilities of Canada and other nations with respect to the future lunar mission requirements. This paper provides an update on the knowledge of lunar seismicity based on the overview of the available literature since 2010, while taking into account important discoveries from the Apollo program. Another important focus of this paper is on the engineering aspects of design of lunar systems and structures for moonquakes. Risks due to lunar seismicity and comments on their mitigation are also presented. Conclusions and recommendations associated with future lunar seismicity related research and some testing aspects are also included.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
