Abstract The Scanning Habitable Environments with Raman and Luminescence for
Organics and Chemicals (SHERLOC) is a robotic arm-mounted instrument on NASA's …

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 Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater, Mars, to investigate ancient lake and river
deposits. We report observations of the crater floor, below the crater's sedimentary delta …

NASA's Perseverance rover uses robotic autonomy to achieve its mission goals on Mars. Its
self-driving autonomous navigation system (AutoNav) has been used to evaluate 88% of the …

Before Perseverance, Jezero crater's floor was variably hypothesized to have a lacustrine,
lava, volcanic airfall, or aeolian origin. SuperCam observations in the first 286 Mars days on …

Observations from orbital spacecraft have shown that Jezero crater on Mars contains a
prominent fan-shaped body of sedimentary rock deposited at its western margin. The …

The first samples collected by the Mars 2020 mission represent units exposed on the Jezero
Crater floor, from the potentially oldest Séítah formation outcrops to the potentially youngest …

Despite the importance of sand and dust to Mars geomorphology, weather, and exploration,
the processes that move sand and that raise dust to maintain Mars' ubiquitous dust haze and …

Starting from fundamentals and moving through a thorough discussion of equipment,
methods, and techniques, the Handbook of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy …

The SuperCam instrument on the Perseverance Mars 2020 rover uses a pulsed 1064 nm
laser to ablate targets at a distance and conduct laser induced breakdown spectroscopy …
