Mineral identification on Mars is an essential aspect of basic geological science that will provide information about the climate and geochemical history of the planet and provide clues about the existence and extent of past water bodies or systems on Mars. Remote spectral data from orbiters, landers and rovers are the primary source of information about the surface mineralogy on Mars. Chemical and magnetic data also constrain the types or abundance of minerals present. The most successful mineral identification procedures will include data from a combination of spectral regions, as well as chemical and magnetic data. Other techniques, such as Moessbauer spectroscopy and thermal analysis (DTA, DSC, TGA), have been suggested for in situ measurements on the Martian surface; these analyses in combination with spectral and chemical data would enable even more precise identification of the types or classes of minerals present on Mars.
