Mastcam-Z is a multispectral, stereoscopic imaging investigation on the Mars 2020 mission's
Perseverance rover. Mastcam-Z consists of a pair of focusable, 4: 1 zoomable cameras that …

The solution-mediated formation of calcium sulfate minerals, ie gypsum, anhydrite and
bassanite, is a common process in both natural and engineered settings. It plays a key role …

The second ExoMars mission will be launched in 2020 to target an ancient location
interpreted to have strong potential for past habitability and for preserving physical and …

Sedimentary rocks at Yellowknife Bay (Gale crater) on Mars include mudstone sampled by
the Curiosity rover. The samples, John Klein and Cumberland, contain detrital basaltic …

The Curiosity rover has analyzed abundant light‐toned fracture‐fill material within the
Yellowknife Bay sedimentary deposits. The ChemCam instrument, coupled with Mastcam …

Sedimentary rocks examined by the Curiosity rover at Yellowknife Bay, Mars, were derived
from sources that evolved from an approximately average martian crustal composition to one …

Analyses by the CheMin X-ray diffraction instrument on Mars Science Laboratory show that
gypsum, bassanite, and anhydrite are common minerals at Gale crater. Warm conditions (∼ …

Even though technological advances could allow humans to reach Mars in the coming
decades, launch costs prohibit the establishment of permanent manned outposts for which …

Opportunity has investigated in detail rocks on the rim of the Noachian age Endeavour
crater, where orbital spectral reflectance signatures indicate the presence of Fe+ 3-rich …

Petrologic investigations of martian rocks have been accomplished by mineralogical,
geochemical, and textural analyses from Mars rovers (with geologic context provided by …
