Time and Length Scales of the Martian Atmospheric Turbulence as Observed by the InSight Lander
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.Abstract We provide a statistical analysis of the Martian near‐surface atmospheric turbulence based on in situ wind observations from NASA's InSight lander. We focus on the variations in length and time scales of the Martian atmospheric turbulence caused by the diurnal cycle and changes in atmospheric dust loading.

Enhanced Seismic Backscattering for Lava Tube Detection
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.Abstract Lava tubes, a common volcanic feature on terrestrial planets, offer critical insights into lava flow processes and may serve as future potential habitats for space crews and other facilities on the Moon and Mars. Seismic detection of these features is challenging as the irregular morphology and rough cave ceilings and walls generate complex ...

The chemical effects of the Martian environment on power system component materials: A theoretical approach [PDF]
In the foreseeable future, an expedition may be undertaken to explore the planet Mars. Some of the power source options being considered for such a mission are photovoltaics, regenerative fuel cells and nuclear reactors.

High‐Pressure Sound Velocity of Fe–S–C Liquids Supports the Presence of Carbon in the Martian Core
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 16, 28 August 2025.Abstract Carbon has been proposed as a major component in the Martian core alongside sulfur for its siderophile behavior during core‐mantle segregation. However, the core C content remains poorly constrained, due to uncertainties in both seismically observed core properties and the equation of state of C‐bearing Fe‐rich liquids. Here we conducted first‐

Compression of Martian atmosphere for production of oxygen [PDF]
The compression of CO2 from the Martian atmosphere for production of O2 via an electrochemical cell is addressed. Design specifications call for an oxygen production rate of 10 kg per day and for compression of 50 times that mass of CO2.

Martian atmospheric Lee waves [PDF]
Icarus, 1976 Mariner 9 television pictures of Mars extensive mountain lee wave phenomenon in the northern mid-latitudes during winter were evaluated. The characteristic wave length of the lee waves is readily observable, and in a few cases the boundaries of the wave patterns, as well as the wave length, are observed.
