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 ...

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

Experimental Investigation of the Atmosphere-Regolith Water Cycle on Present-Day Mars
Sensors, 2021 The water content of the upper layers of the surface of Mars is not yet quantified. Laboratory simulations are the only feasible way to investigate this in a controlled way on Earth, and then compare it with remote and in situ observations of spacecrafts

Perchlorates on Mars enhance the bacteriocidal effects of UV light
Scientific Reports, 2017 Perchlorates have been identified on the surface of Mars. This has prompted speculation of what their influence would be on habitability. We show that when irradiated with a simulated Martian UV flux, perchlorates become bacteriocidal.
