The Mars 2020 mission will seek the signs of ancient life on Mars and will identify, prepare,
document, and cache a set of samples for possible return to Earth by a follow-on mission …

The Earth as a planetary system has experienced significant change since its formation c.
4.54 Gyr ago. Some of these changes have been gradual, such as secular cooling of the …

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the outermost of the rocky, terrestrial planets that
make up the inner solar system. Of this planetary family, Mars is only larger than Mercury …

The InSight mission has measured the seismicity of Mars since February 2019 and has
enabled the investigation of tectonics on the surface of another planet for the first time. Its …

Abstract The Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package HP 3 for the InSight mission will
attempt the first measurement of the planetary heat flow of Mars. The data will be taken at the …

Constraining the thermal and compositional state of the mantle is crucial for deciphering the
formation and evolution of Mars. Mineral physics predicts that Mars' deep mantle is …

Since early 2019, the InSight mission has proven that Mars is seismically active, with more
than 900 seismic events recorded. Among them, several events have characteristics close to …

The evolution and escape of the martian atmosphere and the planet's water inventory can
be separated into an early and late evolutionary epoch. The first epoch started from the …

The present‐day thermal state, interior structure, composition, and rheology of Mars can be
constrained by comparing the results of thermal history calculations with geophysical …

The CHONS elements that constitute the outgassed atmosphere and exosphere have likely
been delivered by chondritic materials to the Earth during planetary accretion and …
