To better understand the Received in revised form 16 April 2010 composition and evolution of Mars, we compare whole rock compositions of basaltic shergottitic meteorites Accepted 21 April 2010 and basaltic lavas examined by the Spirit Mars Exploration Rover in Gusev Crater.

Carlson Columbia Hills (CH) of Gusev Crater; the Adirondack basalts from the Gusev Plains have more intermediate concentrations of K2O (0.16 wt.% to below detection limit). The compositional dataset for the Gusev basalts is Keywords: more limited than for the shergottites, but it includes the minor elements K, P, Ti, Cr, and Ni, whose behavior Mars igneous processes during mantle melting varies from very incompatible (prefers melt) to very compatible (remains in the shergottites residuum).

  • Hirise Camera Views the Mars Rover 'Spirit' at 'Home Plate' 26 November 2007
    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. McEwen of the Lunar and Planetary Laboratory is principal investigator for the experiment. The Mars rover "Spirit" is indicated by a circle on "Home Plate" in this new image of Gusev Crater on Mars.

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.

  • Asymmetric Terracing of Lunar Highland Craters: Influence of Pre-Impact Topography and Structure
    Proc. L~lnorPli~nel. Sci. Corrf. /Of11 (1979), p. 2597-2607 Printed in the United States of America Asymmetric terracing of lunar highland craters: Influence of pre-impact topography and structure Ann W. Gifford and Ted A. Maxwell Center for Earth and Planetary Studies, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institition, Washington, DC 20560 Abstract-The effects of variable pre-impact topography and substrate on slumping and terrace for- mation have been studied on a group of 30 craters in the lunar highlands. These craters are charac- terized by a distinct upper slump block and are all situated on the rim of a larger, older crater or a degraded rim segment. Wide, isolated terraces occur where the rim of the younger crater coincides with a rim segment of the older crater. The craters are all located in Nectarianlpre-Nectarian highland units, and range in age from Imbrian to Copernican. A proposed model for formation of slump blocks in these craters includes the existence of layers with different competence in an overturned rim of the pre-existing crater. Such layering could have resulted from overturning of more coherent layers during formation of the Nectarian and pre-Nec- tarian craters. A combination of material and topographic effects is therefore responsible for terrace formation. Similar terrain effects may be present on other planets and should be considered when interpreting crater statistics in relation to morphology. INTRODUCTION Slumping, terracing or wall failure is an important process in formation and mod- ification of lunar craters. The process of slumping has been investigated by both geometrical (Cintala et a1 ., 1977) and theoretical models (Melosh, 1977; Melosh and McKinnon, 1979); however, these studies are dependent on morphologic constraints imposed by the geologic setting of the craters.

  • 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.

Differences between near-field and remote observations are considered. Rice M. S. Bell J. F. III Wang A. Cloutis E. A. Vis-NIR Spectral Characterization of Si-rich Deposits at Gusev Crater, Mars [#2138] The Spirit rover has discovered high concentrations of silica at Gusev Crater, and a distinct spectral feature near 1000 nm appears to be diagnostic of these materials. We hypothesize that the presence of H2O or OH may be responsible for this feature. Combe J.-Ph. McCord T. B. Mars-Express/HRSC Spectral Data of MER Landing Sites Analyzed by a Multiple-Endmember Linear Spectral Linear Unmixing Model (MELSUM) [#2381] HRSC multispectral data are analyzed for mapping the main surface spectral components and photometric properties of Mars. The unique geometry of observation of this dataset is investigated. Results will be compared to field observations from the MERs. Hauber E. Gwinner K. Gendrin A. Fueten F. Stesky R. Pelkey S. Reiss D. Zegers T. E. MacKinnon P. Jaumann R. Bibring J.-P. Neukum G. Hebes Chasma, Mars: Slopes and Stratigraphy of Interior Layered Deposits [#2375] We present new data from HRSC and CTX on the topography, stratigraphy, and structure of Interior Layered Deposits in Hebes Chasma, Valles Marineris, Mars.

We calculate average radial Accepted 21 March 2017 profiles of free-air anomalies and Bouguer anomalies for peak-ring basins, protobasins, and the largest Available online 22 March 2017 complex craters. Complex craters and protobasins have free-air anomalies that are positively correlated with surface topography, unlike the prominent lunar mascons (positive free-air anomalies in areas of low elevation) associated with large basins.
