SESAME
 
SESAME (Surface Electrical, Seismic and Acoustic Monitoring Experiments) Three instruments measure properties of the comet's outer layers. The Cometary Acoustic Sounding Surface Experiment measures the way in which sound travels through the surface. The Permittivity Probe investigates its electrical characteristics, and the Dust Impact Monitor measures dust falling back to the surface.
