Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover arrived at Mars in August 2012 with a
primary goal of characterizing the habitability of ancient and modern environments. Curiosity …

Abstract NASA's Mars Science Laboratory mission, with its Curiosity rover, has been
exploring Gale crater (5.4° S, 137.8° E) since 2012 with the goal of assessing the potential of …

Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover has been traversing strata at the base
of Aeolis Mons (informally known as Mount Sharp) since September 2014. The Murray …

Abstract The Glen Torridon (GT) region in Gale crater, Mars is a region with strong clay
mineral signatures inferred from orbital spectroscopy. The CheMin X‐ray diffraction (XRD) …

Vera Rubin ridge (VRR) is an erosion‐resistant feature on the northwestern slope of Mount
Sharp in Gale crater, Mars, and orbital visible/shortwave infrared measurements indicate it …

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 …

This paper provides an overview of the Curiosity rover's exploration at Vera Rubin ridge
(VRR) and summarizes the science results. VRR is a distinct geomorphic feature on lower …

We have developed a refined geologic map and stratigraphy for lower Mount Sharp using
coordinated analyses of new spectral, thermophysical, and morphologic orbital data …

Identifying unequivocal signs of life on Mars is one of the most important objectives for
sending missions to the red planet. Here we report Red Stone, a 163-100 My alluvial fan …

For~ 500 Martian solar days (sols), the Mars Science Laboratory team explored Vera Rubin
ridge (VRR), a topographic feature on the northwest slope of Aeolis Mons. Here we review …
