TL;DR: Data from the northern lowlands of Chryse Planitia have revealed a shallowly buried quasi-circular structure about 250 kilometers in diameter that is interpreted to be an impact basin and a planar reflector associated with the basin structure may indicate the presence of a low-loss deposit that is more than 1 kilometer thick.

TL;DR: The ice-rich south polar layered deposits of Mars were probed with the Mars Advanced Radar for Subsurface and Ionospheric Sounding on the Mars Express orbiter, suggesting a composition of nearly pure water ice.

TL;DR: The precise circumstances of the multiple landings of Philae, including the bouncing trajectory and rebound parameters, are reported, based on engineering data in conjunction with operational instrument data, which provide information on the mechanical properties of the comet surface.

TL;DR: Measurements of the interior of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by Radiowave Transmission (CONSERT) suggest the upper part of the “head” of 67P is fairly homogeneous on a spatial scale of tens of meters, and the dust component may be comparable to that of carbonaceous chondrites.

TL;DR: The Spatio-Temporal Analysis of Field Fluctuations (STAFF) experiment is one of five experiments which together comprise the Wave Experiment Consortium (WEC). STAFF consists of a three-axis search coil magnetometer to measure magnetic fluctuations at frequencies up to 4 kHz, and a spectrum analyser to calculate in near-real time aboard the spacecraft, the complete auto- and cross-spectral matrices using the three magnetic and two electric components of the electromagnetic field as discussed by the authors.
