Journal ArticleDOI
The chemical composition of Martian soil and rocks returned by the mobile alpha proton x-ray spectrometer : Preliminary results from the x-ray mode
R. Rieder,Thanasis E. Economou,Heinrich Wänke,A. Turkevich,Joy A. Crisp,J. Brückner,Gerlind Dreibus,Harry Y. McSween +7 more
TL;DR: The alpha proton x-ray spectrometer (APXS) on board the rover of the Mars Pathfinder mission measured the chemical composition of six soils and five rocks at the Ares Vallis landing site, finding rocks are similar in composition to terrestrial andesites and close to the mean composition of Earth's crust.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry of rocks and soils at Meridiani Planum from the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer.
Rudolf Rieder,Ralf Gellert,Robert C. Anderson,J. Brückner,Benton C. Clark,Gerlind Dreibus,Thanasis E. Economou,Göstar Klingelhöfer,G. W. Lugmair,D. W. Ming,Steven W. Squyres,Claude d’Uston,Heinrich Wänke,Albert S. Yen,Jutta Zipfel +14 more
TL;DR: The Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer on the Opportunity rover determined major and minor elements of soils and rocks in Meridiani Planum, indicating the interaction with water in the past is indicated by the chemical features in rocks and soils.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chemistry and mineralogy of outcrops at Meridiani Planum

TL;DR: In this article, outcrops created by the impact craters Endurance, Fram and Eagle reveal the broad lateral continuity of chemical sediments at the Meridiani Planum exploration site on Mars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS): Results from Gusev crater and calibration report
R. Gellert,R. Gellert,Rudolf Rieder,J. Brückner,Benton C. Clark,Gerlind Dreibus,Göstar Klingelhöfer,G. W. Lugmair,Douglas W. Ming,Heinrich Wänke,Albert S. Yen,Jutta Zipfel,Steven W. Squyres +12 more
TL;DR: The chemical composition of rocks and soils on Mars analyzed during the Mars Exploration Rover Spirit Mission was determined by X-ray analyses with the Alpha Particle X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) as discussed by the authors.
