Evolution of Water Reservoirs on Mars: Constraints from Hydrogen Isotopes in Martian Meteorites [PDF]
, 2014 Martian surface morphology implies that Mars was once warm enough to maintain persistent liquid water on its surface. While the high D/H ratios (~6 times the Earth's ocean water) of the current martian atmosphere suggest that significant water has been lost from the surface during martian history, the timing, processes, and the amount of the water loss

Production of Martian fiber by in-situ resource utilization strategy [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Many countries and commercial organizations have shown great interest in constructing Martian base. In-situ resource utilization (ISRU) provides a cost-effective way to achieve this ambitious goal. In this paper, we proposed to use Martian soil simulant to produce fiber to satisfy material requirement for the construction of Martian base.

A new martian crater chronology: Implications for Jezero crater [PDF]
, 2021 Crater chronologies are a fundamental tool to assess relative and absolute ages of planetary surfaces when direct radiometric dating is not available. Martian crater chronologies are derived from lunar crater spatial densities on terrains with known radiometric ages, and thus they critically depend on the extrapolation Moon to Mars.

Observations of Locally Generated Whistler-mode Waves in the Martian Magnetotail Current Sheet
The Astrophysical Journal, 2023 The whistler-mode wave is an electromagnetic wave that commonly occurs in space plasma and has been extensively studied, especially within the Earth's magnetosphere. They have also been reported in the near-Mars space, such as Martian upstream solar wind,

Effect of Sintering Temperature on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Molded Martian and Lunar Regolith [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Cylindrical specimens of Martian and Lunar regolith simulants were molded using a salt water binder and sintered at various temperatures for comparing microstructure, mechanical properties and shrinkage. Material microstructure are reported using optical microscope and material testing is done using an MTS universal testing machine.

Temporal analysis of all high-resolution Mars imaging products [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014 A meta-data analysis has been performed of high-resolution imagery that have been acquired over the last four decades from Mars. More specifically, we are interested in two independent image parameters, the time that each image was acquired and the ...
