Perseverance's Mastcam-Z instrument provides high-resolution stereo and multispectral images with a unique combination of spatial resolution, coverage, wavelength coverage along the rover's traverse in Jezero crater, Mars. Images reveal rocks consistent an igneous (including volcanic and/or volcaniclastic) impactite origin limited aqueous alteration, including polygonally fractured weathered coatings; massive boulder-forming bedrock consisting mafic silicates, ferric oxides, iron-bearing...
Abstract The Dynamic Albedo of Neutrons instrument aboard the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, has been used to map a stratigraphically conformable layer high‐SiO material in Gale crater. Previous work shown that this contains tridymite, high‐temperature/low‐pressure felsic mineral, interpreted have volcanic source rock. We describe several characteristics including orientation, extent, hydration, and geochemistry, consistent with volcaniclastic conformably deposited within...
Abstract The Mars Science Laboratory Curiosity rover has explored over 400 m of vertical stratigraphy within Gale crater to date. These fluvio‐deltaic, lacustrine, and aeolian strata have been well‐documented by Curiosity's in situ remote science instruments, including the Mast Camera (Mastcam) pair multispectral imagers. Mastcam visible near‐infrared spectra can broadly distinguish between iron phases oxidation states, combination with chemical data from other help constrain mineralogy,...
Lunar Flashlight (LF), a 6U technology demonstration CubeSat launched in December 2022, was the first NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) mission to be operated entirely by students. The focus of this paper is lessons learned from operations team, made up graduate and undergraduate students at Georgia Institute Technology (GT), with regard structure, elements, relationships beyond-Earth small satellite system (MOS). complex work environment functionally decomposed using domain analysis...
