Onboard Calibration Silicate Targets for the Chemcam Libs Instrument (msl Rover)
Introduction: To be launched in 2011, the ChemCam (Chemistry Camera) instrument suite will provide remote sensing for the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover [1, 2]. ChemCam consists of a laserinduced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument and a remote micro-imager to supply close-up context images of the LIBS analysis spots [1]. The laser spot radius will be between 60 and 200 μm at distance...
متن کاملManifold Learning for Regression of Mars Spectra
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is currently being used on-board the Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity to predict elemental abundances in dust, rocks, and soils using a partial least squares regression model developed by the ChemCam team. Accuracy of that model is constrained by the number of samples needed in the calibration, which grows exponentially with the dimensionality ...
متن کاملMultivariate Analysis of Chemcam First Calibration Samples
Introduction: ChemCam is an active remote sensing instrument suite being built for MSL [1,2]. It uses laser pulses to remove dust and to profile through weathering coatings of rocks up to 9 m away. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) obtains emission spectra of materials ablated from the samples in electronically excited states over an analysis spot < 1 mm in diameter at the focal point...
متن کاملCharacterization of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) emission lines for the identification of chlorides, carbonates, and sulfates in salt/basalt mixtures for the application to MSL ChemCam data
Ancient environmental conditions on Mars can be probed through the identification of minerals on its surface, including water-deposited salts and cements dispersed in the pore space of sedimentary rocks. Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) analyses by the martian rover Curiosity’s ChemCam instrument can indicate salts, and ChemCam surveys aid in identifying and selecting sites for furth...
متن کاملAutomated Targeting for the MSL Rover ChemCam Spectrometer
The Autonomous Exploration for Gathering Increased Science (AEGIS) system enables automated science data collection by a planetary rover. AEGIS analyzes rover images onboard to detect pre-defined science features of interest, enabling targeted instrument data to be acquired immediately with no delays for ground communication. AEGIS analyses images to detect candidate targets and then selects sp...
