  • 2. Going to Mars
    aMARTE A MARS ROADMAP FOR TRAVEL AND EXPLORATION Final Report International Space University Space Studies Program 2016 © International Space University. All Rights Reserved. The 2016 Space Studies Program of the International Space University (ISU) was hosted by the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, Israel. aMARTE has been selected as the name representing the Mars Team Project. This choice was motivated by the dual meaning the term conveys. aMARTE first stands for A Mars Roadmap for Travel and Exploration, the official label the team has adopted for the project. Alternatively, aMARTE can be interpreted from its Spanish roots "amarte," meaning "to love," or can also be viewed as "a Marte," meaning "going to Mars." This play on words represents the mission and spirit of the team, which is to put together a roadmap including various disciplines for a human mission to Mars and demonstrate a profound commitment to Mars exploration. The aMARTE title logo was developed based on sections of the astrological symbols for Earth and Mars. The blue symbol under the team's name represents Earth, and the orange arrow symbol is reminiscent of the characteristic color of Mars. The arrow also serves as an invitation to go beyond the Earth and explore our neighboring planet.

  • Combinatorics in Space
    Combinatorics in Space The Mariner 9 Telemetry System Mariner 9 Mission Launched: May 30, 1971 Arrived: Nov. 14, 1971 Turned Off: Oct. 27, 1972 Mission Objectives: (Mariner 8): Map 70% of Martian surface. (Mariner 9): Study temporal changes in Martian atmosphere and surface features. Live TV A black and white TV camera was used to broadcast “live” pictures of the Martian surface. Each photo-receptor in the camera measures the brightness of a section of the Martian surface about 4-5 km square, and outputs a grayness value in the range 0-63. This value is represented as a binary 6-tuple. The TV image is thus digitalized by the photo-receptor bank and is output as a stream of thousands of binary 6-tuples. Coding Needed Without coding and a failure probability p = 0.05, 26% of the image would be in error ... unacceptably poor quality for the nature of the mission. Any coding will increase the length of the transmitted message. Due to power constraints on board the probe and equipment constraints at the receiving stations on Earth, the coded message could not be much more than 5 times as long as the data. Thus, a 6-tuple of data could be coded as a codeword of about 30 bits in length. Other concerns A second concern involves the coding procedure. Storage of data requires shielding of the storage media – this is dead weight aboard the probe and economics require that there be little dead weight. Coding should therefore be done “on the fly”, without permanent memory requirements.

Introduction: Laser-induced breakdown chromite-spinel, olivine, and pyroxene as phenocrysts spectroscopy (LIBS) is an elemental analysis method in the dark groundmass [9].

We used an Nd:YAG laser (1064 high-spatial resolution (hundreds of microns), rapid, nm, 2 Hz repetition rate, 30 mJ pulse energy). The laser and remote analysis without sample pretreatment (>3 m spot diameter was 800 �m. The spectra were obtained distance in minutes) [1]. Such examples include at a distance of 1 m with an exposure time of 50 ms. 5- ChemCam on NASA’s Curiosity rover [1], SuperCam 9 spots were measured per sample and 100 spectra were on the Perseverance rover [2], and China’s Tianwen-1 obtained per laser spot. The lunar meteorite NWA 479 rover [3]. was measured at light-toned phenocrysts and darker LIBS would be a powerful tool for lunar groundmass.

  • Mars Exploration - a Story Fifty Years Long Giuseppe Pezzella and Antonio Viviani
    Chapter Introductory Chapter: Mars Exploration - A Story Fifty Years Long Giuseppe Pezzella and Antonio Viviani 1. Introduction Mars has been a goal of exploration programs of the most important space agencies all over the world for decades. It is, in fact, the most investigated celestial body of the Solar System. Mars robotic exploration began in the 1960s of the twentieth century by means of several space probes sent by the United States (US) and the Soviet Union (USSR). In the recent past, also European, Japanese, and Indian spacecrafts reached Mars; while other countries, such as China and the United Arab Emirates, aim to send spacecraft toward the red planet in the next future. 1.1 Exploration aims The high number of mission explorations to Mars clearly points out the impor- tance of Mars within the Solar System. Thus, the question is: “Why this great interest in Mars exploration?” The interest in Mars is due to several practical, scientific, and strategic reasons. In the practical sense, Mars is the most accessible planet in the Solar System [1]. It is the second closest planet to Earth, besides Venus, averaging about 360 million kilometers apart between the furthest and closest points in its orbit. Earth and Mars feature great similarities. For instance, both planets rotate on an axis with quite the same rotation velocity and tilt angle. The length of a day on Earth is 24 h, while slightly longer on Mars at 24 h and 37 min. The tilt of Earth axis is 23.5 deg, and Mars tilts slightly more at 25.2 deg [2].

    2021 Virtual Convention Sponsorship Kit www.MarsSociety.org The Mars Society is the world’s largest and most influential space advocacy organization dedicated to the human exploration and settlement of the planet Mars. Established in 1998, the group works to educate the public, the media and the government on the benefits of exploring Mars and creating a permanent human presence on the Red Planet. The Mars Society is a global movement Mars Society Chapters in 40+ countries The Mars Society Annual Convention • Mars Society has held an annual convention every year since 1998. • The 4-day event features a variety of prominent speakers in the fields of government, business, academia, philanthropy and military who present on all aspects of Mars and cutting-edge topics in space exploration, science and technology. 2020 Virtual Convention In 2020, facing the global pandemic, the Mars Society leadership decided to hold our convention online as a virtual event with a minimum of changes to the 4-day format, which enabled us to confirm many prominent speakers who normally would not be able to appear in person due to the travel and time commitment. Elon Musk, CEO SpaceX & Tesla This included Elon Musk and the chief of NASA, as well as every existing Mars mission. Speakers from around the world were able to appear via Zoom and take questions. Attendees were able to network with each other and the speakrs using a variety of virtual tools including conference application Attendify, chat and collaboration tool Slack and virtual networking and adhoc video tool Wonder.me.
