The second ExoMars mission will be launched in 2020 to target an ancient location interpreted have strong potential for past habitability and preserving physical chemical biosignatures (as well as abiotic/prebiotic organics). deliver a lander with instruments atmospheric geophysical investigations rover tasked searching signs of extinct life. equipped drill collect material from outcrops at depth down 2 m. This subsurface sampling capability provide the best chance yet gain access...
The Yilgarn Craton in Australia has a large number of naturally occurring shallow ephemeral lakes underlain by dendritic system paleodrainage channels. Processes like evaporation, flooding, erosion, as well inflow saline, often acidic and ion-rich groundwater contribute to the (dynamic) nature composition sediments. region previously been described an analogue environment for early Mars due its geological geophysical similarities. Here, we investigated sediment samples four lake environments...
Abstract Von Kármán crater (diameter = ~186 km), lying in the northwestern South Pole‐Aitken (SPA) basin, was formed pre‐Nectarian. The floor subsequently flooded with one or several generations of mare basalts during Imbrian period. Numerous subsequent impact craters surrounding region delivered ejecta to floor, together forming a rich sample SPA basin and farside geologic history. We studied details targeted landing (45.0–46.0°S, 176.4–178.8°E) 2018 Chinese lunar mission Chang'E‐4, within...

Abstract The Rümker region (41–45°N, 49–69°W) is located in northern Oceanus Procellarum of the Moon. Mons most distinctive geological feature area. characterized by prolonged lunar volcanism (Late Imbrian Period to Eratosthenian Period), forming multiple geologic units area, including very low‐Ti mare basalts, high‐Ti and volcanic complexes. Each unit has distinct element composition mineral assemblages. region, overlying KREEP Terrain, was selected as landing for China's Chang'E‐5 sample...
Abstract The SIMBIO-SYS (Spectrometer and Imaging for MPO BepiColombo Integrated Observatory SYStem) is a complex instrument suite part of the scientific payload Mercury Planetary Orbiter mission, last cornerstone missions European Space Agency (ESA) Horizon + science program. will provide all imaging capability spacecraft. It consists three channels: STereo Channel (STC), with broad spectral band in 400-950 nm range medium spatial resolution (at best 58 m/px), that Digital Terrain Model...
Thousands of phyllosilicate‐rich outcrops, mainly iron or magnesium‐rich are exposed on Noachian terrains in the Martian southern highlands. We analyzed 90 CRISM observations and more than a hundred HiRISE images located plateaus surrounding Valles Marineris. mapped an extensive Al‐ Fe/Mg‐phyllosilicate‐rich formation covering at least ∼197,000 km 2 , for which we introduce name “Plateau Phyllosilicates.” Tens meters thickness, this light‐toned crops out various elevations top units Npl 1 as...

Valles Marineris represents the deepest natural incision in Martian upper crust. Previous studies showed that parts of walls were made finely layered probable basalts most chasmata, while base stratigraphy reveals primary Noachian crustal blocks. Exposures pristine bedrock are rare on Mars, and mostly observed outside their geological context. The occurrence well‐preserved extended outcrops material this giant rift could bring valuable information early processes took place at surface Mars....
CRISM is a hyperspectral imager onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO; NASA, 2005) which has been acquiring data since November 2006 and targeted hydrated minerals previously detected by OMEGA (Mars Express; ESA, 2003).
