Novel solvent systems for in situ extraterrestrial sample analysis [PDF]

, 2010
The life marker chip (LMC) is being designed to test for the chemical signature of life in the soil and rocks of Mars. It will use an antibody array as part of its detection and characterisation system and aims to detect both polar and non-polar ...

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 ...

The search for ancient life on Mars using morphological and mass spectrometric analysis: an analog study in detecting microfossils in Messinian gypsum

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences
Hydrated sulfate deposits have been detected on Mars. A spaceflight instrument capable of detecting microfossils in these salt deposits is highly important for the search for ancient life on Mars.

Quantitative Evaluation of Shock Metamorphism in Clinopyroxene Using In Situ X‐Ray Diffraction Measurement of Lattice Strain

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract Shock metamorphism is a ubiquitous process in our solar system. Shock pressure can be related to the lattice strain (ε) of individual minerals within a shocked sample. The lattice strain can be quantified within intact samples by in situ micro‐X‐ray diffraction (μXRD) using the Williamson‐Hall method. The Williamson‐Hall lattice strain (W‐H ε)

Active Dust Devils in the Rosalind Franklin Rover Landing Site in Oxia Planum, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The Rosalind Franklin rover will land in Oxia Planum, Mars, in the second half of 2030. The mission relies on solar arrays to provide electrical power to the rover, so knowledge about dust‐clearing rates is important for science operations.

Décollement Rheology Controls Crustal Deformation on Early Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The circum‐Tharsis wrinkle ridge system represents one of the strongest tectonic imprints of early Mars, formed as the planet's largest volcanic province reshaped the lithosphere and redistributed stresses across thousands of kilometers. The coherent spatial pattern of these ridges suggests deformation governed by a laterally continuous basal ...

Type‐III Solar Radio Bursts at Mars: A 16.5‐Year Catalog From Mars Express‐MARSIS at 0.1–5.5 MHz

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The most intense radio feature in the Solar System are the solar Type‐III radio bursts, which are associated with electron beams that propagate along open magnetic field lines. Although solar radio bursts have been studied since the 1940s, observations remain mainly restricted within 1 AU.

Photochemical effects of Mars‐like UV irradiation on carboxylic acids in carbonaceous chondrites and expectations for abiotic background organics on Mars

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2445-2465, October 2026.
Abstract In the search for life on Mars, understanding the origin of preserved organics is critical. Expected sources include exogenous delivery, endogenous synthesis, and potentially life. Environmental processing by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can alter these organics, obscuring hallmarks of their origin. To deconvolve these effects, we conducted an

Identifying and Interpreting Stratification in Sedimentary Rocks on Mars: Insight from Rover and Orbital Observations and Terrestrial Field Analogs [PDF]

, 2013
Sedimentary rocks on Mars provide insight into past aqueous and atmospheric processes, climate regimes, and potential habitability. The stratigraphic architecture of sedimentary rocks on Mars is similar to that of Earth, indicating that the processes ...

Description and terrestrial ages of the Calama Area Meteorite Collection (Atacama Desert, Chile)

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2415-2430, October 2026.
Abstract We present a comprehensive study of a meteorite collection from the Atacama Desert (Chile), the driest and most climatically stable desert in the world. This collection includes meteorites from three adjacent Dense Collection Areas (DCAs) in the northern part of the Atacama Desert: Calama, Sierra Gorda, and Chug Chug, referred to as the ...
