The ChemCam Instrument Suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Rover: Body Unit and Combined System Tests

Roger C. Wiens, +97 more
TL;DR: The first laser-induced breakdown spectrometer (LIBS) was used on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover Curiosity for remote compositional information using the first LIBS on a planetary mission, and provided sample texture and morphology data using a remote micro-imager.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.

Douglas W. Ming, +442 more
- 24 Jan 2014 - 
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

Design of the cold atom PHARAO space clock and initial test results

TL;DR: The cold atom clock PHARAO as mentioned in this paper was designed for microgravity operation and all elements of the clock have been manufactured and delivered to CNES, the French space agency, for initial science operation.
