| 内容記述 | Access to the interior of rocks on Mars is an important goal for understanding Mars petrology and geologic history. The spectral signature of the potentially diverse mineralogy of rocks on Mars is veiled by the ubiquitous dust and may be further hidden by weathered rind. We have developed a rock crusher and sample distribution system under the auspices of NASA s PIDDP program. We call it the SPADE : the Sample Processing and Distribution Experiment. Its purpose is to access the interiors of rocks on Mars and prepare samples for analysis by a suite of in situ instruments. |
