Moon Mineralogy Mapper/Chandrayaan-1. Moon Mineralogy Mapper (M) is one of eleven instruments selected to fly onboard India’s Chandrayaan-1 spacecraft in 2008. M, selected as a NASA Discovery Mission of Opportunity in May, 2004, is a high spatial and spectral resolution spectrometer that will help scientists better understand the compositional variation of the Moon’s surface. Ms overall science...

Introduction: Mineral equilibria provide predic-tors of properties important in aqueous geochemistry (solubility, freezing, precipitation, dissolution, etc.). Prediction works well where groundwater is well above freezing, but less so where only thin films of cold water and ice are present. Calculations are also limited where water/rock ratios are small, the general case on Mars. On Mars many m...
