    HiRISE Camera Views the Mars Rover 'Spirit' at 'Home Plate' 26 November 2007 Herkenhoff said. At the time, the camera was flying about 270 kilometers, or about 168 miles, over the surface. At that distance, the camera could resolve objects about 81 centimeters, or about 32 inches, across. The sun was about 56 degrees above the horizon in the winter afternoon sky. The HiRISE image of Home Plate and others are on the HiRISE Website, hirise.lpl.arizona.edu . HiRISE operations are based at The University of Arizona in Tucson. Professor Alfred S.

Landis This January, the Mars Exploration Rovers "Spirit" and "Opportunity" are starting their fifth year of exploring the surface of Mars, well over ten times their nominal 90-day design lifetime. This lecture discusses the Mars Exploration Rovers, presents the current mission status for the extended mission, some of the most results from the mission and how it is affecting our current view of Mars, and briefly presents the plans for the coming NASA missions to the surface of Mars and concepts for exploration with robots and humans into the next decade, and beyond.

  • Columbia Hills, Gusev Crater: Mission Overview and Selected Results from the Cumberland Ridge to Home Plate, J
    Columbia Hills, Location 14.5478 S, 175.6255 E (lat,lon): MOLA128: -1.932 km Gusev Crater Summary of observations and interpreted history, including unknowns: Gusev crater formed around 3.9–4.1 billion years ago (Werner et al., 2008). The Columbia Hills may represent peak ring hills, intersecting rims of multiple craters, or eroded, possibly lacustrine fill. Subsequent geologic processes emplaced successive volcanics and possibly evaporites, draping over the Hills at dips of 7–30 degrees (McSween et al., 2008; McCoy et al., 2008; Ruff et al., 2014). Basaltic plains dated to 3.65 Ga onlap the Columbia Hills (Greeley et al., 2005). Multiple igneous rock units are present in the Columbia Hills, including high-alkali and high olivine materials and some tuffs or ashes (McSween et al., 2008). Several types of evidence of aqueous processes are preserved in rocks that have possible Al-phyllosilicates (Clark et al., 2007), Mg-Fe carbonates (Morris et al., 2010), and opaline silica (Squyres et al., 2008; Ruff et al., 2011). Near surface soil crusts have ferric sulfates, calcium sulfates, and silica (Arvidson et al., 2010). The silica-enriched rocks and ferric sulfate-bearing soils occur in and around the 80 m-diameter “Home Plate” volcaniclastic deposit. The presence of the Spirit rover represents a long duration exposure facility experiment, of potential value in human exploration. Key units are: the "Comanche" carbonate-bearing outcrops (~15-30 wt% Mg-Fe carbonate, plus olivine and an amorphous silicate), which has been interpreted to result from (a) hydrothermal alteration (Morris et al., 2010) or (b) evaporation of an ephemeral lake (Ruff et al., 2014).

Wray School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, Georgia Institute of Technology, 311 Ferst Drive, Atlanta, GA 30332-0340, USA e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Gale crater formed from an impact on Mars *3.6 billion years ago. It hosts a central mound nearly 100 km wide and *5 km high, consisting of layered rocks with a variety of textures and spectral properties. The oldest exposed layers contain variably hydrated sulphates and smectite clay minerals, implying an aqueous origin, whereas the younger layers higher on the mound are covered by a mantle of dust. Fluvial channels carved into the crater walls and the lower mound indicate that surface liquids were present during and after deposition of the mound material. Numerous hypotheses have been advocated for the origin of some or all minerals and layers in the mound, ranging from deep lakes to playas to mostly dry dune fields to airfall dust or ash subjected to only minor alteration driven by snowmelt. The complexity of the mound suggests that multiple depositional and diagenetic processes are represented in the materials exposed today. Beginning in August 2012, the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity will explore Gale crater by ascending the mound’s northwestern flank, providing unprecedented new detail on the evolution of environmental conditions and habitability over many millions of years during which the mound strata accumulated.

  • Martian Rock Types Analysis of Surface Composition
    Martian rock types Analysis of surface composition • Most of the knowledge from the surface compostion of Mars comes from: • Orbital spacecraft’s spectroscopic data • Analysis by rovers on the surface • Analysis of meteroites Southern Highlands • Mainly Basalts – Consists primarily of Olivine, Feldspars and Pyroxenes Northern Lowlands • Mainly Andesite – More evolved forms of magma – Highly volatile – Constitutes the majority of the crust Intermediate Felsic Types • High Silica Rocks • Exposed on the surface near Syrtis Major • Uncommon but include: • Dacites and Granitoids • Suggest diverse crustal composition Sedimentary Rocks • Widespread on the surface • Makes up the majority of the Northern lowlands deposists – May have formed from sea/lake deposits – Some show cross‐bedding in their layers – Hold the best chance to find fossilized life Carbonate Rocks • Formed through hydrothermal precipitation Tracks from rover unveil different soil types • Most soil consists of finely ground basaltic rock fragments • Contains iron oxide which gives Mars its red color • Also contains large amounts of sulfur and chlorine Tracks from rover unveil different soil types • Light colored soil is silica rich • High concentrations suggest water must have been involved to help concentrate the silica Blueberries • Iron rich spherules Meteorites on Mars What is a Martian meteorite? • Martian meteorites are achondritic meteorites with strong linear correlations of gases in the Martian atmosphere. Therefore, the gas trapped in each meteorite matches those that the Viking Lander found in Mar’s atmosphere. The graph below explains this correlation. • Image: http://www.imca.cc/mars/martian‐meteorites.htm Types of Martian Meteorites • 34 meteorites have been found that are Martian and they can be separated into 4 major categories with sub‐categories.
