Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover arrived at Mars in August 2012 with a
primary goal of characterizing the habitability of ancient and modern environments. Curiosity …

Establishing the first human presence on Mars will be the most technically challenging
undertaking yet in the exploration beyond our planet. The remoteness of Mars from Earth …

Abstract NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, with its Curiosity rover, has been
exploring Gale crater (5.4° S, 137.8° E) since 2012 with the goal of assessing the potential of …

The sample analysis at Mars instrument evolved gas analyzer (SAM‐EGA) has detected
evolved water, H2, SO2, H2S, NO, CO2, CO, O2, and HCl from two eolian sediments and …

The composition and physical properties of martian regolith are dramatically better
understood compared to just a decade ago, particularly through the use of X-ray diffraction …

Abstract The Mars rover Curiosity in Gale crater conducted the first-ever direct chemical and
mineralogical comparisons of samples that have clear parent (unaltered) and daughter …

Extensive evidence of landform-scale martian geomorphic changes has been acquired in
the last decade, and the number and range of examples of surface activity have increased …

We used imaging, laser altimeter and thermal infrared data to map a 0.5 by 0.5° area
containing the landing site of the Zhurong rover of the Tianwen‐1 mission. We analyzed the …
