A new model describing Forbush Decreases at Mars: combining the heliospheric modulation and the atmospheric influence

Earth and Planetary Physics, 2020
Forbush decreases are depressions in the galactic cosmic rays (GCRs) that are caused primarily by modulations of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICMEs) but also occasionally by stream/corotating interaction regions (SIRs/CIRs).

Raman Spectroscopic Analysis and In Situ Heating Experiments on Adranosite Minerals

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
This study provides the first detailed Raman spectroscopic characterization of rare ammonium sulfates adranosite, iron‐rich adranosite, and adranosite‐(Fe) from volcanic and coal‐fire environments. Distinct spectral features reveal compositional differences and structural effects of Fe substitution.

Oligotrophic Growth of Nitrate-Dependent Fe2+-Oxidising Microorganisms Under Simulated Early Martian Conditions

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Nitrate-dependent Fe2+ oxidation (NDFO) is a microbially mediated process observed in many anaerobic, low-nutrient (oligotrophic) neutral–alkaline environments on Earth, which describes oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+ in tandem with microbial nitrate reduction.

Determine the Elemental Composition of Minerals From Complex Solid‐Solution Series by Raman Spectroscopy: Implications for Mars Exploration Missions

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
This study presents a hierarchical Raman‐based classification model for determining the elemental composition of garnets within complex solid‐solution systems. The workflow combines spectral preprocessing, dimensionality reduction, and two‐level classification: first distinguishing between pyralspite and ugrandite groups, and then classifying ...

The Martian surface radiation environment – a comparison of models and MSL/RAD measurements

Journal of Space Weather and Space Climate, 2016
Context: The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) has been measuring the radiation environment on the surface of Mars since August 6th 2012. MSL-RAD is the first instrument to provide detailed information about charged

Mars base buildup scenarios [PDF]

, 1985
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 ...

Progress in Resource Evaluation Using a Handheld Raman Instrument Developed for Astronaut Missions

Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.
Analogue studies were undertaken using a prototype, handheld Raman spectrometer (developed for astronaut usage on the moon) to collect data that would indicate the presence of water and help develop the technology to search for valuable trace elements (such as lithium and caesium).

The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

The nature and formation of silica minerals in eucrite meteorites: Insight into the protoplanetary magma crystallization

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Silica polymorphs in meteorites provide critical constraints on crystallization processes associated with thermal activity in the early solar system. A detailed investigation of silica polymorphs in eucrites (the largest group of achondrites) using cathodoluminescence imaging and laser‐Raman spectroscopy revealed significant variations in the ...
