On Mars we have minerals and non-ore rocks. *We have yet to find an traditional “ore” deposit on Mars. • The melting point of aluminum oxide, over 2000oC requires lots of energy to melt the source material so that ions (Al3+ and O2–) are free to move to the electrodes for the electrolysis to work. On Earth, this process is ~6x more costly than the production Fe (reducing method: ore, coke and limestone). • Other melting points: • Iron (sulfide or oxide) ore: 1800 °C • Glass: 1400 °C to 1600 °C • Mafic minerals (e.g., pyroxene) 1000 to 1200 °C 43.2°N 164.2°E • Phyllosilicates: > 1000 °C 39N, 172Ec 20 Resource ROI 2 1st EZ Workshop for Human Missions to Mars Sheet Silicate / • Elevated levels through center of EZ High-Si Glass • Evidence of mineral alteration and precipitation hydrated silicates TES over THEMIS 39N, 172Ec 21 Resource ROI 3 1st EZ Workshop for Human Missions to Mars Arcadia ferric oxide nanoparticles/dust abundance (blue low, red high) Planta • Elevated levels through center of EZ Planes Materials • TES abundances as high as 0.2 (red) or ~10x low abundance areas (blue) • Evidence of mineral altern and precipi • Ubiquitous, low slope, medium and fine grained surface deposits –> enhancing mining, manufacturing, OMEGA 3D construction and traverse operations over MOLA Shaded • Potential for lave tube and tunnels Relief • Multiple elevated mineral assemblages across region 39N, 172Ec 22 RROI3 Potential Resource

  • Appendix I Lunar and Martian Nomenclature
    APPENDIX I LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE LUNAR AND MARTIAN NOMENCLATURE A large number of names of craters and other features on the Moon and Mars, were accepted by the IAU General Assemblies X (Moscow, 1958), XI (Berkeley, 1961), XII (Hamburg, 1964), XIV (Brighton, 1970), and XV (Sydney, 1973). The names were suggested by the appropriate IAU Commissions (16 and 17). In particular the Lunar names accepted at the XIVth and XVth General Assemblies were recommended by the 'Working Group on Lunar Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr D. H. Menzel. The Martian names were suggested by the 'Working Group on Martian Nomenclature' under the Chairmanship of Dr G. de Vaucouleurs. At the XVth General Assembly a new 'Working Group on Planetary System Nomenclature' was formed (Chairman: Dr P. M. Millman) comprising various Task Groups, one for each particular subject. For further references see: [AU Trans. X, 259-263, 1960; XIB, 236-238, 1962; Xlffi, 203-204, 1966; xnffi, 99-105, 1968; XIVB, 63, 129, 139, 1971; Space Sci. Rev. 12, 136-186, 1971. Because at the recent General Assemblies some small changes, or corrections, were made, the complete list of Lunar and Martian Topographic Features is published here.

The valley is about 2.5 km wide; the scene covers 9.8 km by 27.9 km centred on 5.1°N/48.26°W. The valley floor at top right exhibits a 200 m-wide channel covered by dunes and debris.

DC 1993 This publication was prepared by the NASA Center for AeroSpace Information, 800 Elkridge Landing Road, Linthicum Heights, MD 21090-2934, (301) 621 -0390. INTRODUCTION This issue of Aerospace Medicine and Biology (NASA SP-7011) lists 206 reports, articles and other documents originally announced in February 1993 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The first issue of Aerospace Medicine and Biology was published in July 1964. Accession numbers cited in this issue are: STAR (N-10000 Series) N93-12544 - N93-15658 IAA (A-10000 Series) A93-13741 - A93-17520 In its subject coverage, Aerospace Medicine and Biology concentrates on the biological, physiological, psychological, and environmental effects to which humans are subjected during and following simu- lated or actual flight in the Earth's atmosphere or in interplanetary space. References describing similar effects on biological organisms of lower order are also included. Such related topics as sanitary problems, pharmacology, toxicology, safety and survival, life support systems, exobiology, and person- nel factors receive appropriate attention. Applied research receives the most emphasis, but references to fundamental studies and theoretical principles related to experimental development also qualify for inclusion.
