Detecting life on Mars and the life marker chip : antibody assays for detecting organic molecules in liquid extracts of Martian samples [PDF]

, 2012
The Life Marker Chip instrument, which has been selected to fly as part of the 2018 ExoMars rover mission payload, aims to detect up to 25 organic molecules in martian rocks and regolith, as markers of extant life, extinct life, meteoritic in-fall and ...

Processing by robust cepstral fractal - topological methods of flows of optical texture images of the martian surface

Eurasian Physical Technical Journal, 2019
The paper presents the results of applying digital image processing methods to improve their quality and intelligibility. The method is used to process images of Martian craters made by the famous American satellites Mariner and Viking.

IR SPECTRAL MAPPING OF THE MARTIAN SOUTH POLAR RESIDUAL CAP USING CRISM [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are considered to be important in theories of abiogenesis (Allamandola, 2011) . There is evidence that PAHs have been detected on two icy Saturnian satellites using the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer ...

MAPPING OF INNER AND OUTER CELESTIAL BODIES USING NEW GLOBAL AND LOCAL TOPOGRAPHIC DATA DERIVED FROM PHOTOGRAMMETRIC IMAGE PROCESSING [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2016
New estimation of fundamental geodetic parameters and global and local topography of planets and satellites provide basic coordinate systems for mapping as well as opportunities for studies of processes on their surfaces.

Martian Golf Ball

This golf ball is designed to be used in Martian gravity. As Martian gravity is weaker than Earths, this golf ball feels heavy when held on Earth. It forms part of an ongoing project by Bethany Rigby on Golf and outer space, developing a speculative ...

Modern Challenges and Legal Innovations in Satellite Law [PDF]

Advanced Space Law
From the battlefields of Earth to the dusty plains of Mars, the law follows humanity into new frontiers. This research blends Martian – Martial Convergence – the interplay between Martian Law and Martial Law – with the introduction of the neologism ...

Icelandic analogs to Martian flood lavas [PDF]

, 2004
We report on new field observations from Icelandic lava flows that have the same surface morphology as many Martian flood lava flows. The Martian flood lavas are characterized by a platy-ridged surface morphology whose formation is not well understood ...

Dark aeolian sediments in Martian craters: Composition and sources [PDF]

, 2011
Our research focuses on the mineralogical characteristics of dark sediment deposits in Martian craters (dunes, dune fields, and sand sheets) and their local sediment sources, carried out on the basis of 70 selected localities.

How to Search for Life in Martian Chemical Sediments and Their Fluid and Solid Inclusions Using Petrographic and Spectroscopic Methods

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Abundant resources and efforts have been employed in the search for life on Mars. Satellites, landers, and rovers have tested atmospheric gases, general sediment and rock compositions, and images of Mars surface in an effort to detect biosignatures left ...

Tidal disruptions of rubble piles: The case of Phobos

Astronomy & Astrophysics
Context. Many small satellites in the Solar System have sub-synchronous orbits, meaning their orbits are decaying due to tidal dissipation. Unless they have substantial material strength, they will eventually tidally disrupt before reaching their planet ...
