SuperCam is a highly integrated remote-sensing instrumental suite for NASA's Mars 2020
mission. It consists of a co-aligned combination of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy …

The mineralogical and elemental compositions of the martian soil are indicators of chemical
and physical weathering processes. Using data from the Mars Exploration Rovers, we show …

Abstract The NASA Curiosity rover Mast Camera (Mastcam) system is a pair of fixed‐focal
length, multispectral, color CCD imagers mounted~ 2 m above the surface on the rover's …

The Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity has investigated the landing site in Eagle crater
and the nearby plains within Meridiani Planum. The soils consist of fine-grained basaltic …

Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory Mast camera and Descent Imager investigations
were designed, built, and operated by Malin Space Science Systems of San Diego, CA …

The Mössbauer spectrometer on Spirit measured the oxidation state of Fe, identified Fe‐
bearing phases, and measured relative abundances of Fe among those phases for surface …

The ripple field known as “El Dorado” was a unique stop on Spirit's traverse where dust‐
raising, active mafic sand ripples and larger inactive coarse‐grained ripples interact …

The Panoramic Camera (Pancam) investigation is part of the Athena science payload
launched to Mars in 2003 on NASA's twin Mars Exploration Rover (MER) missions. The …

The alpha particle x-ray spectrometer on the Spirit rover determined major and minor
elements of soils and rocks in Gusev crater in order to unravel the crustal evolution of planet …

We have identified and characterized a basaltic Mars simulant that is available as whole
rocks, sand and dust. The source rock for the simulant is a basalt mined from the Tertiary …
