Toward Building Sustainable Mars Infrastructure: A CO₂-Breathing Plasma Thruster for Orbit Maintenance and In Situ Oxygen Generation. [PDF]

Glob Chall
This study demonstrates a CO2‐breathing plasma thruster capable of producing high thrust and generating oxygen directly from the Martian atmosphere. By combining propulsion with in situ resource utilization, the system enables long‐duration satellite orbit maintenance and supports future human exploration.

Temporal analysis of all high-resolution Mars imaging products [PDF]

The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2014
A meta-data analysis has been performed of high-resolution imagery that have been acquired over the last four decades from Mars. More specifically, we are interested in two independent image parameters, the time that each image was acquired and the ...

Structure Along the Martian Dichotomy Constrained by Rayleigh and Love Waves and Their Overtones

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023
Using seismic recordings of event S1222a, we measure dispersion curves of Rayleigh and Love waves, including their first overtones, and invert these for shear velocity (VS) and radial anisotropic structure of the Martian crust.

Laser Ablation Sampling With Low-Power Plasma: A LA-MIP-MS Instrument for Spaceflight. [PDF]

Rapid Commun Mass Spectrom
ABSTRACT Rationale Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a commonly used ion source for mass spectrometry‐based chemical analysis of a wide range of materials. Traditional ICP ion sources use high power (> 1000 W) and significant gas flow (> 10 L/min), rendering them unsuitable for spaceflight, as they are too resource‐intensive for planetary spacecraft.
