The effects of the diurnal atmospheric variability on entry, descent and landing on Mars [PDF]
Serbian Astronomical Journal, 2014 Landing on Mars is extremely challenging task due to the fact that the Martian atmosphere is the most hostile environment in the Solar system to perform the entry, descent and landing (EDL) process, because it is thick enough to create ...

Estimation of surface water content at the Tianwen-1 Zhurong landing site
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2023 China’s first Mars rover, Zhurong, successfully landed in the south of Utopia Planitia. The surface water content at the landing area can provide constraints on mineral formation conditions and help us better understand the evolution of the Martian ...

A predictive model for the ichnological suitability of the Jezero crater, Mars: searching for fossilized traces of life-substrate interactions in the 2020 Rover Mission Landing Site [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Ichnofossils, the fossilized products of life-substrate interactions, are among the most abundant biosignatures on Earth and therefore they may provide scientific evidence of potential life that may have existed on Mars.
