Hope it is not sensitive to seismic activity... Chilean Mountains are amongst the most seismic active regions on the earth. Lima, Peru recently moved 25' by GPS measurements after one of their recent megaquakes.

With all the new scopes seeing first light within the next 5 years we should be able to spot habitable exoplanets by 2024-25. Can't wait.
