Griffiths,1,2 C.E. Leff,1,2 N. Schmitz,3 J.-L. Josset,4 G. Paar,5 M. Gunn,6 E. Hauber,3 C.R. Cousins,7 R.E. Cross,6 P. Grindrod,2,8 J.C. Bridges,9 M. Balme,10 S. Gupta,11 I.A. Crawford,2,8 P. Irwin,12 R. Stabbins,1,2 D. Tirsch,3 J.L. Vago,13 T. Theodorou,1,2 M. Caballo-Perucha,5 G.R. Osinski,14 and the PanCam Team Abstract The scientific objectives of the ExoMars rover are designed to answer several key questions in the search for life on Mars. In particular, the unique subsurface drill will address some of these, such as the possible existence and stability of subsurface organics. PanCam will establish the surface geological and morphological context for the mission, working in collaboration with other context instruments. Here, we describe the PanCam scientific objectives in geology, atmospheric science, and 3-D vision. We discuss the design of PanCam, which includes a stereo pair of Wide Angle Cameras (WACs), each of which has an 11-position filter wheel and a High Resolution Camera (HRC) for high-resolution investigations of rock texture at a distance. The cameras and electronics are housed in an optical bench that provides the mechanical interface to the rover mast and a planetary protection barrier.

Although several formation mechanisms have been proposed for the Fe-oxide concretions on Earth, it is License 4.0 (CC BY-NC). still unclear whether these mechanisms are viable because a precise formation process and precursor of the concretions are missing. This paper presents evidence that Fe-oxide concretions in Utah and newly found Fe- oxide concretions in Mongolia had spherical calcite concretions as precursors. Different formation stages of calcite and Fe-oxide concretions observed, both in Utah and Mongolia, indicate that calcite concretions initially formed within eolian sandstone strata and were dissolved by infiltrating Fe-rich acidic waters to form spherical FeO(OH) crusts due to pH buffering. The similarity between these Fe-oxide concretions on Earth and the hem- Downloaded from atite spherule occurrences in Meridiani Planum, combined with evidence of acid sulfate water influences on Mars, suggest that the hematite spherules also formed from dissolution of preexisting carbonate spherules possibly formed under a dense carbon dioxide early martian atmosphere.

  • Carta De Peticion De La Cumbre
    The Honorable U.S. Senator Marco Rubio The Honorable U.S. Senator Rick Scott 201 South Orange Avenue, Suite 350 716 Hart Senate Office Bldg. Orlando, FL 32801 Washington, DC 20510 April 28, 2021 Re: We Need You to Co-Sponsor the SECURE Act Dear Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott, We, the undersigned organizations and Venezuelan, business and faith leaders, media personalities and members of other TPS communities from Haiti and Central America, are writing to urge you to co-sponsor the SECURE Act, which would provide permanent protections to TPS holders from 12 countries, including Venezuela, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, and El Salvador. We held a national summit on Saturday April 17, 2021 to support the SECURE Act, which was introduced by Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen of Maryland. It needs at least one Republican co-sponsor and the support of 10 GOP senators to become law. The average TPS holder has been in the United States for more than 20 years, contributing to the country’s economy and helping rebuild and recover from the pandemic. Many of them are mixed citizen/immigrant families who have purchased homes and opened businesses, paid taxes, attended schools and places of worship. Despite being an integral part of our communities, TPS holders live in a constant state of uncertainty, needing to reapply to the program every 6 to 18 months and pay substantial fees. It is time to end the uncertainty and make these protections permanent so that families and states like Florida can move forward. The designation of TPS for Venezuela brings long-awaited relief, but it is a temporary reprieve.

  • Mars Rover Opportunity Working at 'Matijevic Hill' Site 30 September 2012
    Mars rover Opportunity working at 'Matijevic Hill' site 30 September 2012 reminiscent of, but different from, the iron-rich spheres nicknamed "blueberries" at the rover's landing site nearly 22 driving miles ago (35 kilometers). The small spheres at Matijevic Hill have different composition and internal structure. Opportunity's science team is evaluating a range of possibilities for how they formed. The spheres are up to about an eighth of an inch (3 millimeters) in diameter. The "blueberries" found earlier are concretions formed by the action of mineral-laden water inside rocks, but that is only one of the ways nature can make small, rounded particles. One working hypothesis, out of several, is that the new-found spherules are also concretions but with a different Rock fins up to about 1 foot (30 centimeters) tall composition. Others include that they may be dominate this scene from the panoramic camera accretionary lapilli formed in volcanic ash eruptions, (Pancam) on NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Opportunity.
