Exploration of Victoria Crater by the Mars Rover Opportunity (2009)

Squyres, S. W., Knoll, A. H., Arvidson, R. E., Ashley, J. W., Calvin, W. M., ...

The Mars rover Opportunity has explored Victoria crater, a ~750-meter eroded impact crater formed in sulfate-rich sedimentary rocks. Impact-related stratigraphy is preserved in the crater walls, and...

Spectral, mineralogical, and geochemical variations across Home Plate, Gusev Crater, Mars indicate high and low temperature alteration (2009)

Schmidt, M. E., Farrand, W. H., Johnson, J. R., Schröder, C., Hurowitz, J. A., McCoy, T. J., ...

Over the last ~ 3 years in Gusev Crater, Mars, the Spirit rover observed coherent variations in color, mineralogy, and geochemistry across Home Plate, an ~ 80 m-diameter outcrop of basaltic tephra....

Spirit Mars Rover Mission to the Columbia Hills, Gusev Crater: Mission overview and selected results from the Cumberland Ridge to Home Plate (2008)

Arvidson, R. E., Ruffins, S. W., Morris, R. V., Ming, D. W., Crumpler, L. S., Yen, A. S., ...

This paper summarizes the Spirit rover operations in the Columbia Hills of Gusev Crater from sols 513 to 1476 and provides an overview of selected findings that focus on synergistic use of the Athena...

Erosion rates at the Mars Exploration Rover landing sites and long-term climate change on Mars (2007)

Golombek, M. P., Grant, J. A., Crumpler, L. S., Greeley, R., Arvidson, R. E., Bell, J. F. III, ...

Erosion rates derived from the Gusev cratered plains and the erosion of weak sulfates by saltating sand at Meridiani Planum are so slow that they argue that the present dry and desiccating...

Assessment of Mars Exploration Rover landing site predictions. (2006)

Golombek, M. P., Arvidson, R. E., Bell, J. F. III, Christensen, P. R., Crisp, J. A., Crumpler, L. S., ...

Comprehensive analyses of remote sensing data during the three-year effort to select the Mars Exploration Rover landing sites at Gusev crater and at Meridiani Planum correctly predicted the...

Geology of the Gusec cratered plains from the Spirit rover transverse (2006)

Golombek, M. P., Crumpler, L. S., Grant, J. A., Greely, R., Cabrol, N. A., Parker, T. J., ...

The cratered plains of Gusev traversed by Spirit are generally low-relief rocky plains dominated by impact and eolian processes. Ubiquitous shallow, soil-filled, circular depressions, called hollows,...

Cassini Imaging of Jupiter's Atmosphere, Satellites, and Rings (2003)

Porco, C.C., West, R.A., McEwen, A.S., Del Genio, A.D., Ingersoll, A.P., Thomas, P.C., ...

The Cassini Imaging Science Subsystem acquired about 26,000 images of the Jupiter system as the spacecraft encountered the giant planet en route to Saturn. We report findings on Jupiter's zonal...

Distribution of hydrogen in the near surface of Mars: Evidence for subsurface ice deposits (2002)

Boynton, W. V., Feldman, W. C., Squyres, S. W., Prettyman, T. H., Brückner, J., Evans, L. G., ...

Using the Gamma-Ray Spectrometer on the Mars Odyssey, we have identified two regions near the poles that are enriched in hydrogen. The data indicate the presence of a subsurface layer enriched in...

Iapetus – Summary of recent work, prospects for Cassini (1999)

Denk, T., Neukum, G., Jaumann, R., Roatsch, T., Noll, K.S., Porco, C.C., ...

The Saturnian satellite Iapetus is one ofthe most unusual bodies of the solar system due to its extreme albedo dichotomy between the dark leading site, the bright trailing side, and the bright polar...
