In Situ Methanation on Mars: A Process Concept Study on the Impact of H2/CO2 and Recycle Ratio
The rocket propellant methane can be produced on Mars by in situ resource utilization. The H2/CO2 ratio is decisive, and excess H2 is favored for providing sufficient propellant purity. The operation mode—with or without recycling of unreacted reactants—depends on the resource availability of the selected landing site. Abstract For return missions from

Breeding vectors and predictability in the Oxford Mars GCM [PDF]
A breeding vectors approach is used to study the intrinsic predictability of the Martian atmosphere using the Oxford Mars General Circulation Model (MGCM).

A review of volatiles in the Martian interior [PDF]
Multiple observations from missions to Mars have revealed compelling evidence for a volatile-rich Martian crust. A leading theory contends that eruption of basaltic magmas was the ultimate mechanism of transfer of volatiles from the mantle toward the ...

Raman Spectroscopic Analysis and In Situ Heating Experiments on Adranosite Minerals
This study provides the first detailed Raman spectroscopic characterization of rare ammonium sulfates adranosite, iron‐rich adranosite, and adranosite‐(Fe) from volcanic and coal‐fire environments. Distinct spectral features reveal compositional differences and structural effects of Fe substitution.

The circulatory impact of dust from dust profile assimilation [PDF]
We present results from a reanalysis of temperatures, dust columns and dust vertical profiles focussing on the assimilation, distribution and transport of dust in the martian atmosphere.

Modeling the variations of Dose Rate measured by RAD during the first MSL Martian year: 2012-2014 [PDF]
The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD), on board Mars Science Laboratory's (MSL) rover Curiosity, measures the {energy spectra} of both energetic charged and neutral particles along with the radiation dose rate at the surface of Mars.

Baroclinic Wave Transitions in the Martian Atmosphere
Abstract Surface pressure data from the Viking Lander mission and from GCM simulations of the martian atmosphere have been analyzed using singular systems analysis. Very regular oscillations are found with frequencies that are distributed bimodally with peaks corresponding to periods of approximately 2–4 days and 5–7 days, respectively ...

Morphology of Antarctic Polygons and Implications for Polygon Evolution and Subsurface Ice Dynamics
ABSTRACT Polygonal terrain results from thermal contraction, is commonly found in periglacial environments, and serves as a valuable proxy for interpreting subsurface ice distribution and climate history on Earth and Mars. In this study, we investigate the morphology of polygons in Beacon Valley, Antarctica, to assess the relationship between polygon ...

Forbush decreases are depressions in the galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) that are caused primarily by modulations of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) but also occasionally by stream/corotating interaction regions (SIRs/CIRs).

The ISSI international study team on the martian PBL – status report and plan [PDF]
Dynamical processes in the Martian boundary layer provide the means of communication between surface ice deposits and the free atmosphere, and the means of lifting dust from the surface.
