Multiple nations and private entities are pushing to make landing humans on Mars a reality. The majority of proposed mission architectures envision ‘living off the land’ by leveraging Martian water-ice deposits for fuel production and other purposes. F
"I think the real value of this report is if we can get NASA to pay attention," Jakosky told Space.com in an exclusive interview. "We see a lot of work going on in planning the architecture for human Mars missions. But science isn't on the table at all. My goal as chair of the...
Utopia Planitia is also characterized by distinctive geomorphic features including giant polygons, pitted cones and layered-ejecta craters that indicate a large body of water/ice might have existed there in the past20,21,22,23,24,25(Fig.1c). However, it remains uncertain the extent to which ...
As such, to optimize future missions their landing sites need to focus on areas where habitable conditions persist, continuously or episodically, today or in the recent geologic past. These habitable conditions fall under four broad categories: 1) a source of energy; 2) the availability of ...
This work also presents evidence for the persistence of subsurface microbial habitats in some of the most arid locations on Earth, suggesting a mechanism for preservation of life during the prolonged aridification of Mars. The availability of stable liquid water on the surface or in the subsurface ...
Mars, mainly located close to the dichotomy boundary. These features can be indicators of past water availability and are favorable sedimentary settings for organic matter preservation. Accordingly, the Jezero crater delta has been targeted as a landing site for the Perseverance rover mission in 2021...
If human beings were to ever colonize Mars, understanding its atmosphere and water cycle will be key to our survival. "The history of Mars' atmospheric pressure and availability of water are critical information for understanding the basic workings of Mars' climate and near-surface geologic, ...
2015) and the availability of H bearing species from the lower atmosphere (see Sect. 2.2.2 Objective B), while the production of non-thermal atomic O is modulated by the atmospheric solar ionization rate, ionospheric composition, and electron temperature (see review by Lillis et al. 2015, ...
Convection in planetary mantles helps the heat exchange at the core-mantle boundary and, consequently, a dynamo’s operation. Therefore, one of the outstanding questions is whether the mantle is subject to convective motions at the present day or the convection ceased sometime in the past. Given...
