Abstract
Over the years a number of experiments have reached the surface of the Moon all which should be considered as important reminders of human achievement. Though each functional object deployed on the Lunar surface has its own significance, a number of experiments were of particular importance, such as a network of seismic instruments. Deployed over a number of missions it contributed immensely to the understanding of the internal structure of the Moon. The data is still valuable to the present day as new analysis techniques provide new ways for it to yield information. The Apollo mission series, famous for placing the first humans on the Lunar surface has also been the biggest contributor to the body of knowledge regarding Lunar seismology a fact that deserves to be remembered. This brief overview aims to provide insight into the different seismic experiments and the missions involved.
