The Mars 2020 mission will seek the signs of ancient life on Mars and will identify, prepare,
document, and cache a set of samples for possible return to Earth by a follow-on mission …

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

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 SuperCam instrument suite provides the Mars 2020 rover, Perseverance, with a number
of versatile remote-sensing techniques that can be used at long distance as well as within …

Noachian-aged Jezero crater is the only known location on Mars where clear orbital
detections of carbonates are found in close proximity to clear fluvio-lacustrine features …

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 …

Sedimentary fans are key targets of exploration on Mars because they record the history of
surface aqueous activity and habitability. The sedimentary fan extending from the Neretva …

The European Space Agency (ESA) and Roscosmos ExoMars mission will launch the
“Rosalind Franklin” rover in 2022 for a landing on Mars in 2023. The goals of the mission are …

Early Mars climate research has well-defined goals (MEPAG 2018). Achieving these goals
requires geologists and climate modelers to coordinate. Coordination is easier if results are …
