MOXIE is a technology demonstration that addresses the Mars 2020 (Perseverance)
objective of preparing for future human exploration by demonstrating In Situ Resource …

Nine simulations are used to predict the meteorology and aeolian activity of the Mars 2020
landing site region. Predicted seasonal variations of pressure and surface and atmospheric …

Scientists use the Earth as a tool for astrobiology by analyzing planetary field analogues (ie
terrestrial samples and field sites that resemble planetary bodies in our Solar System). In …

Aeolian sediment transport is observed to occur on Mars as well as other extraterrestrial
environments, generating ripples and dunes as on Earth. The search for terrestrial analogs …

One of the biggest challenges of science is the determination of whether extraterrestrial life
exists. Although potential habitable areas might be available for complex life, it is more likely …

Wind speeds and directions were measured on the Phoenix Lander by a mechanical
anemometer, the so‐called Telltale wind indicator. Analysis of images of the instrument …

Experimental results are presented of wind induced grain detachment under Mars
simulation conditions. A simple force balance equation is applied to quantify the wind shear …

The transport of granular materials by wind has a major impact on our environment through
sand/soil erosion and the generation and transport of atmospheric dust aerosols …

We review selected experimental saltation studies performed in laboratory wind tunnels and
collision experiments performed in (splash-) laboratory facilities that allow detailed …

Reliable and accurate environmental sensing is a cornerstone of modern meteorology. This
paper presents a laboratory environmental simulator capable of reproducing extreme …
