GAUSS - genesis of asteroids and evolution of the solar system [PDF]

, 2021
The goal of Project GAUSS (Genesis of Asteroids and evolUtion of the Solar System) is to return samples from the dwarf planet Ceres. Ceres is the most accessible candidate of ocean worlds and the largest reservoir of water in the inner Solar System.

Characterizing and Removing Ultra-Violet Contamination in Ion Observations on Board Tianwen-1

Atmosphere, 2023
The Mars Ion and Neutral Particle Analyzer (MINPA) onboard Tianwen-1 aims to study the interaction between Mars and the solar wind via in situ ion measurement and energetic neutral atom imaging.

Magnetic Reconnection as a Potential Trigger for Magnetotail Flapping at Mars: Insights From MAVEN and Tianwen‐1 Observations

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 2, April 2026.
Abstract Magnetotail current sheet (CS) flapping is a universal plasma phenomenon observed at multiple planets, yet its triggering mechanisms remain poorly understood outside of Earth. At Mars, single‐spacecraft observations have also reported tail flapping, but the processes responsible for its onset have never been identified.

Establishment of Safety Evaluation Factors for Dust Storms in the Landing Area Selection for Tianwen‐3 Mission

Earth and Space Science
China's Tianwen‐3 mission is expected to be launched around 2028, making it the first Mars sample return mission. Dust storms occurring in all seasons on Mars can affect the accuracy and safety of the landing and takeoff phases of Mars sampling missions.

Characteristics of Dust Devils in Two Pre-Selected Landing Regions of the Tianwen-1 Mission—Comparing Observations and Predictions Using Numerical Model

Remote Sensing, 2022
The spatial and temporal distribution of dust devils (DDs) in the two pre-selected landing regions (ZA and ZB) of the Tianwen-1 mission in southern Utopia Planitia have been investigated by using images from the Context Camera (CTX) of the Mars ...

Mars Express: From the Launch Pad to a 20-Year Success Record at Mars [PDF]

Mars Express was conceived and built by ESA as a successor of the unsuccessful Russian Mars-96 mission. It was planned from the onset as an orbiter and lander mission to be able to carry out long-term, remote sensing and in-situ scientific investigations

Listening for the Landing:Seismic Detections of Perseverance’s arrival at Mars with InSight [PDF]

, 2021
The entry, descent, and landing (EDL) sequence of NASA’s Mars 2020 Perseverance rover will act as a seismic source of known temporal and spatial localization. We evaluate whether the signals produced by this event will be detectable by the InSight lander

Magnetosphere of Mars at Almost Radial Interplanetary Magnetic Field

Journal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract We have studied the structure of the Martian magnetosphere under conditions of an almost radial interplanetary magnetic field (IMF). Under such conditions, the currents driven by the motional electric field −1cVsw×BIMF ${-}\frac{1}{c}{\mathbf{V}}_{sw}\times {\mathbf{B}}_{\mathit{IMF}}$ are expected to be strongly reduced, and the induced ...

Crater Detection and Population Statistics in Tianwen-1 Landing Area Based on Segment Anything Model (SAM)

Remote Sensing
Crater detection is useful for research into dating a planetary surface’s age and geological mapping. The high-resolution imaging camera (HiRIC) carried by the Tianwen-1 rover provides digital image model (DIM) datasets with a resolution of 0.7 m/pixel ...

Automatic Segmentation of Radar Data from the Chang'E-4 Mission Using Unsupervised Machine Learning: A Data-Driven Interpretation Approach [PDF]

Chang'E-3, E-4 and E-5 were the first planetary missions with in-situ ground-penetrating radar (GPR) in their scientific payloads. Apart from the Chang'E missions, in-situ GPR has also been used in the Martian missions Tianwen-1 and Perseverance ...
