TL;DR: The JUpiter ICy moons Explorer (JUICE) mission as mentioned in this paper was selected by ESA in May 2012 to perform detailed investigations of Jupiter and its system in all their interrelations and complexity with particular emphasis on Ganymede as a planetary body and potential habitat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral comparison of heavily hydrated salts with disrupted terrains on Europa
J. B. Dalton,Olga Prieto-Ballesteros,Jeffrey S. Kargel,C. S. Jamieson,J. Jolivet,Richard C. Quinn +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a near-infrared reflectance spectra of highly hydrated sulfur-bearing salts, including hexahydrite, epsomite, bloedite, mirabilite, supersaturated MgSO4, NaHCO3, and Na2SO4 brines, and magnesium sulfate dodecahydrate, all have been measured under conditions of pressure and temperature appropriate to the surface environment of Europa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability of liquid saline water on present day Mars
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that small amounts of sodium perchlorate (∼ 1 mg) at Mars atmospheric conditions, spontaneously absorb moisture and melt into a liquid solution growing into ∼ 1 mm liquid spheroids at temperatures as low as 225 K.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rheological and Thermal Properties of Icy Materials
TL;DR: In this article, a review of methods for measuring both flow properties and thermal properties of icy planetary materials in the laboratory, and describe physical theories that are essential for intelligent extrapolation of data from laboratory to planetary conditions is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Evidence that cyanobacteria predominate in deep subsurface rock samples from the Iberian Pyrite Belt Mars analog (southwestern Spain) is presented and it is suggested that they may play an important role as primary producers within the deep-Earth biosphere.
