Multiphase Volatilization of Halogens at the Soil‐Atmosphere Interface on Mars
The Martian critical zone, especially its soil‐atmosphere interface, may host an active halogen cycle affecting habitability, as inferred from halogen trends observed in situ at Gusev and Meridiani,…
Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) characterization of granular soils: Implications for ChemCam analyses at Gale crater, Mars
The Potential for Lunar and Martian Regolith Simulants to Sustain Plant Growth: A Multidisciplinary Overview
Bioregenerative life support systems (BLSS) are conceived of and developed so as to provide food sources for crewed missions to the Moon or Mars. The in situ resource utilization (ISRU) approach aims…
Clustering Supported Classification of ChemCam Data From Gale Crater, Mars
TLDR
An approach relying on the feature extraction method Non‐Negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) and the repetition of k‐means clustering to classify ChemCam spectra and a first approach in which a random forest classifier was trained and validated with the obtained cluster assignments reveals promising results for predicting cluster memberships of new ChemCam LIBS data acquired after sol 2756.
Soil fertility interactions with Sinorhizobium-legume symbiosis in a simulated Martian regolith; effects on nitrogen content and plant health
TLDR
Results showed that plant-legume symbiosis is a possibility for Martian soil colonization, with symbiotic plant-bacteria relationships differed between regolith and potting mix, with plant biomass positively correlated to regolith-b bacteria interactions; and NH4 production was limited to plant uptake yet the relationships in Regolith and Potting mix were similar.

Mineralogy of the Martian Surface
The past fifteen years of orbital infrared spectroscopy and in situ exploration have led to a new understanding of the composition and history of Mars. Globally, Mars has a basaltic upper crust…

Sulfates hydrating bulk soil in the Martian low and middle latitudes
The evidence for sulfate‐bearing strata, across Late‐Noachian to Amazonian eons, suggests a central role for sulfates in acidity and salinity of Martian paleofluids and the planet's habitability.…
