Textural information might be less detailed relatively to what is usually obtained at outcrops during classical geological field work on the Earth, partly because of the lack of optical imaging of the borehole wall and also because the collected samples are crushed. However sub-mm scale layering and some other sedimentary features might be identified in the borehole wall observations, or in the collected sample prior to crushing, and also at nearby outcrops. The candidate landing sites provide different targets and focus for research: Oxia Planum requires analysis of phyllosilicates and OH content, at Mawrth Vallis the layering of various phyllosilicates and the role of shallow-subsurface leaching should be emphasized. At Aram Dorsum the particle size and fluvial sedimentary features will be interesting. Hydrated perchlorates and sulphates are ideal targets possibly at every landing sites because of OH retention, especially if they are mixed with smectites, thus could point to even ancient wet periods. Extensive use of information from the infrared wall scanning will be complemented for geological context by orbital and rover imaging of nearby outcrops. Information from the context is especially useful to infer the possible action of past H2O. Separation of the ice and liquid water effects will be supported by cation abundance and sedimentary context. Shape of grains also helps here, and composition of transported grains points to the weathering potential of the environment in general. The work on Mars during the drilling and sample analysis will provide brand new experience and knowledge for future missions.}, year = {2016}, eissn = {1573-0875}, pages = {435-454}, orcid-numbers = {Újvári, Gábor/0000-0002-2816-6155} } @article{MTMT:2899060, title = {The MARS2013 Mars Analog Mission}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/2899060}, author = {Groemer, G and Soucek, A and Frischauf, N and Stumptner, W and Ragonig, C and Sams, S and Bartenstein, T and Hauplik-Meusburger, S and Petrova, P and Evetts, S and Sivenesan, C and Bothe, C and Boyd, A and Dinkelaker, A and Dissertori, M and Fasching, D and Fischer, M and Foger, D and Foresta, L and Fritsch, L and Fuchs, H and Gautsch, C and Gerard, S and Goetzloff, L and Golebiowska, I and Gorur, P and Groemer, G and Groll, P and Haider, C and Haider, O and Hauth, E and Hauth, S and Hettrich, S and Jais, W and Jones, N and Taj-Eddine, K and Karl, A and Kauerhoff, T and Khan, MS and Kjeldsen, A and Klauck, J and Losiak, A and Luger, M and Luger, T and Luger, U and McArthur, J and Moser, L and Neuner, J and Orgel, Csilla and Ori, GG and Paternesi, R and Peschier, J and Pfeil, I and Prock, S and Radinger, J and Ramirez, B and Ramo, W and Rampey, M and Sams, A and Sams, E and Sandu, O and Sans, A and Sansone, P and Scheer, D and Schildhammer, D and Scornet, Q and Sejkora, N and Stadler, A and Stummer, F and Taraba, M and Tlustos, R and Toferer, E and Turetschek, T and Winter, E and Zanella-Kux, K}, doi = {10.1089/ast.2013.1062}, journal-iso = {ASTROBIOLOGY}, journal = {ASTROBIOLOGY}, volume = {14}, unique-id = {2899060}, issn = {1531-1074}, abstract = {We report on the MARS2013 mission, a 4-week Mars analog field test in the northern Sahara. Nineteen experiments were conducted by a field crew in Morocco under simulated martian surface exploration conditions, supervised by a Mission Support Center in Innsbruck, Austria. A Remote Science Support team analyzed field data in near real time, providing planning input for the management of a complex system of field assets; two advanced space suit simulators, four robotic vehicles, an emergency shelter, and a stationary sensor platform in a realistic work flow were coordinated by a Flight Control Team. A dedicated flight planning group, external control centers for rover tele-operations, and a biomedical monitoring team supported the field operations. A 10min satellite communication delay and other limitations pertinent to human planetary surface activities were introduced. The fields of research for the experiments were geology, human factors, astrobiology, robotics, tele-science, exploration, and operations research. This paper provides an overview of the geological context and environmental conditions of the test site and the mission architecture, in particular the communication infrastructure emulating the signal travel time between Earth and Mars. We report on the operational work flows and the experiments conducted, including a deployable shelter prototype for multiple-day extravehicular activities and contingency situations.

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the system of data processing and utilization adopted by the Remote Science Support (RSS) team during this mission. The RSS team procedures were designed to optimize operational efficiency of the Flightplan, field crew, and RSS teams during a long-term analog mission with an introduced 10min time delay in communication between Mars and Earth. The RSS workflow was centered on a single-file, easy-to-use, spatially referenced database that included all the basic information about the conditions at the site of study, as well as all previous and planned activities. This database was prepared in Google Earth software. The lessons learned from MARS2013 RSS team operations are as follows: (1) using a spatially referenced database is an efficient way of data processing and data utilization in a long-term analog mission with a large amount of data to be handled, (2) mission planning based on iterations can be efficiently supported by preparing suitability maps, (3) the process of designing cartographical products should start early in the planning stages of a mission and involve representatives of all teams, (4) all team members should be trained in usage of cartographical products, (5) technical problems (e.g., usage of a geological map while wearing a space suit) should be taken into account when planning a work flow for geological exploration, (6) a system that helps the astronauts to efficiently orient themselves in the field should be designed as part of future analog studies.
