Detection of Perchlorate and the Soluble Chemistry of Martian Soil at the Phoenix Lander Site
Michael H. Hecht,Samuel P. Kounaves,Richard C. Quinn,S. J. West,S. M. M. Young,Douglas W. Ming,David C. Catling,David C. Catling,B. C. Clark,William V. Boynton,John H. Hoffman,Lauren DeFlores,K. Gospodinova,J. Kapit,Peter H. Smith +14 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the soil at the Phoenix landing site must have suffered alteration through the action of liquid water in geologically the recent past, and revealed an alkaline environment in contrast to that found by the Mars Exploration Rovers, indicating that many different environments have existed on Mars.

TL;DR: Results suggest that the soil at the Phoenix landing site must have suffered alteration through the action of liquid water in geologically the recent past, and an alkaline environment was revealed, in contrast to that found by the Mars Exploration Rovers, indicating that many different environments have existed on Mars.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the thermodynamics of freeze-thaw cycles can lead to the formation of saline solutions with freezing temperatures lower than current summer ground temperatures on the Phoenix landing site on Mars' Arctic.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used an array of ion selective electrodes and solution conductivity using a conductivity cell to measure the minimum leachable ions in the soil and do not take into account species remaining in the ground soil, and found that the leached portion of soils at the Phoenix landing site are slightly alkaline and dominated by carbonate and perchlorate.

TL;DR: The first Mars Scout mission, Phoenix as mentioned in this paper, was launched to Mars from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a Delta 2 launch vehicle on 4 August 2007, and successfully deployed on 25 May 2008 during a complex entry, descent and landing sequence using pulsed thrusters as the final braking strategy.
