Micromechanical testing and property upscaling of planetary rocks: A critical review
International Journal of Mining Science and TechnologyKnowledge of the mechanical behavior of planetary rocks is indispensable for space explorations. The scarcity of pristine samples and the irregular shapes of planetary meteorites make it difficult to obtain representative samples for conventional ...

Comparative planetary mineralogy: Valence state partitioning of Cr, Fe, Ti, and V among crystallographic sites in olivine, pyroxene, and spinel from planetary basalts [PDF]
American Mineralogist, 2005 This is a comparative planetary mineralogy study emphasizing the valence-state partitioning of Cr, Fe, Ti, and V over crystallographic sites in olivine, pyroxene, and spinel from planetary basalts. The sites that accommodate these cations are the M2 site (6 to 8-coordinated) and M1 site (6-coordinated) in pyroxene, the M2 site (6- to 8-coordinated) and

Modal mineralogy of planetary surfaces from visible and near-infrared spectral data [PDF]
2010 2nd Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing, 2010 Real planetary surfaces are composed of several to many different minerals and ices. Deconvolving a reflectance spectrum to material abundance in an unambiguous way is difficult, because the spectra are complex nonlinear functions of grain size, abundance, and material opacity.

A review of volatiles in the Martian interior [PDF]
, 2016 Multiple observations from missions to Mars have revealed compelling evidence for a volatile-rich Martian crust. A leading theory contends that eruption of basaltic magmas was the ultimate mechanism of transfer of volatiles from the mantle toward the ...

Planetary Materials (Reviews in Mineralogy, Volume 36) [PDF]
Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1999 Understanding the origin of planetary systems requires our comprehension of the materials from which the planets in our solar system formed. Exploring planetary formation draws from and contributes to a variety of scientific disciplines ranging from astrophysics to geology. One of the methods for understanding the composition and the geological history

A GENERIC RIGOROUS SENSOR MODEL FOR PHOTOGRAMMETRIC PROCESSING OF PUSHBROOM PLANETARY IMAGES [PDF]
The International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2019 Currently, each planetary exploration mission team always develops its own software modules to support the photogrammetric processing of planetary images, and as a result of that the main drawbacks are lacking software reusability and the high cost of ...
