Investigating the Martian atmosphere using the ExoMars 2016 lander [PDF]
Accurate modelling of the Martian atmosphere is essential both for planning and completing future missions to the Martian surface, and for accurate analysis and interpretation of the data that they return.

Evolution of Force‐Free Magnetic Structure in the Dayside Ionosphere of Mars
Abstract Magnetic fields measured in the ionosphere of Mars by the magnetometers onboard the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN (MAVEN) and the Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) spacecraft display a wide range of spatial scales, ranging from global to small‐scale.

Bacillus subtilis Spore Resistance to Simulated Mars Surface Conditions
In a Mars exploration scenario, knowing if and how highly resistant Bacillus subtilis spores would survive on the Martian surface is crucial to design planetary protection measures and avoid false positives in life-detection experiments.

Questioning the Reliability of Methane Detections on Mars by the Curiosity Rover
Abstract Over the past decade, the Tunable Laser Spectrometer (TLS) on NASA's Curiosity rover has reported several detections of methane on Mars, attracting attention due to the potential astrobiological implications of its presence. Here, we re‐analyze published TLS data, identifying issues in data robustness and reduction.

Martian surface properties [PDF]
The objectives were: to characterize surficial geologic units through integration of Infrared Thermal Mapper (IRTM)-derived regolith properties with other existing remote sensing data; to determine the physical and spectral properties of volcanic units ...

Identifying Landslides in Atla Regio on Venus
Abstract We performed a systematic search for landslides in the Alta Regio region of Venus, located from (16°S, 179°W) to (21°N, 147°W). Using data primarily from Magellan Cycle 1 radar imagery, we identified 29 landslides in this region. There were 19 previously identified across the entire surface (Malin, 1992, https://doi.org/10.1029/92je01343 ...

Mars base buildup scenarios [PDF]
Two Mars surface based build-up scenarios are presented in order to help visualize the mission and to serve as a basis for trade studies. In the first scenario, direct manned landings on the Martian surface occur early in the missions and scientific ...
