Mars Dust Micromechanics: Mer Marsdial and Laboratory Observations
Introduction: In future human exploration of Mars, many challenges face us. Mars is a dusty planet and dust and windblown particulates will present one of the most significant difficulties [1]. The dust and granular regolith will challenge materials, machines, and people. Our experience with dust-covered astronauts on the Moon and with landers and rovers on Mars suggests that significant effort...
متن کاملPLANETARY SCIENCE Dust observations at orbital altitudes surrounding Mars
Dust is common close to the martian surface, but no known process can lift appreciable concentrations of particles to altitudes above ~150 kilometers.We present observations of dust at altitudes ranging from 150 to above 1000 kilometers by the Langmuir Probe and Wave instrument on the Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution spacecraft. Based on its distribution, we interpret this dust to be inte...
متن کاملMars Science Laboratory relative humidity observations: Initial results
The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) made a successful landing at Gale crater early August 2012. MSL has an environmental instrument package called the Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) as a part of its scientific payload. REMS comprises instrumentation for the observation of atmospheric pressure, temperature of the air, ground temperature, wind speed and direction, relative humidity (...
متن کاملMars Science Laboratory Drill
The Drill for the Mars Science Laboratory mission is a rotary-percussive sample acquisition device with an emphasis on toughness and robustness to handle the harsh environment on Mars. The unique challenges associated with autonomous drilling from a mobile robot are addressed. A highly compressed development schedule dictated a modular design architecture that satisfies the functional and load ...
متن کاملComet Dust from Airborne Leonid Storm Observations
For the past five years, rare Leonid meteor storms offered unique access to cometary dust by spectacular manifestations of recently ejected dust grains, which could be observed by exceptional meteor observing techniques. The final storms, those of November 19, 2002, measured the dust distribution in a comet dust trail far from the position of the comet itself. The measured spatial and particle ...
