Abstract The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Explorer (SAMPEX) mission launched in July 1992 was the first NASA “Small Explorer” project. It had the goal to show how space missions could be developed much more rapidly than had become the situation in the 1980s and 1990s.

Deep Learning‐Based Automated Segmentation of Layered Crater Ejecta on Mars
Abstract Layered crater ejecta (LCE) with fluidization on Mars is generally believed to be related to the near‐surface ice‐bearing deposits. The improvement in the resolution of planetary image data has led to the discovery of more and more LCE, providing support for further research on the formation and geological significance of layered ejecta ...
