The ChemCam Instrument Suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Rover: Science Objectives and Mast Unit Description

TL;DR: Wiens et al. as mentioned in this paper reported on the development, integration, and testing of the Mast-Unit and summarized some key characteristics of ChemCam, which consists of a Mast-unit (laser, telescope, camera, and electronics) and a Body-Unit (spectrometers, digital processing unit, and optical demultiplexer).
Journal ArticleDOI

Volatile and organic compositions of sedimentary rocks in Yellowknife Bay, Gale crater, Mars.

TL;DR: Higher abundances of chlorinated hydrocarbons in the mudstone compared with Rocknest windblown materials previously analyzed by Curiosity suggest that indigenous martian or meteoritic organic carbon sources may be preserved in the Mudstone; however, the carbon source for the chlorinatedHydrocarbons is not definitively of martian origin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reconstructing the total shortening history of the NW Himalaya.

TL;DR: In this paper, the onset of India-Asia contact can be dated with both biostratigraphic analysis of syncollisional sedimentary successions deposited on each side of the Indus Suture zone, and by radiometric dating of Indian crustal rocks which have undergone subduction to great depths in the earliest subduction-collision stages.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface motion of mountain glaciers derived from satellite optical imagery

TL;DR: In this article, a complete and detailed map of the ice-velocity field on mountain glaciers is obtained by cross-correlating SPOT5 optical images, without ground control points.
Journal ArticleDOI

Recent rapid thinning of the ''Mer de Glace'' glacier derived from satellite optical images

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use SPOT image pairs to build Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the Mont Blanc area (French Alps) for different years, and adjust their longitude, latitude and altitude over motionless areas.
