Scientific paper

The Phobos-2 multichannel scintillation gamma-ray spectrometer was used to determine the composition of Mars rocks. This paper presents results of an analysis of gamma-ray spectra measured when the spacecraft was in PC-3 orbit. In the area investigated, the subalkaline basalt in the composition proves to be the closest terrestrial analog of the underlying Martian bedrocks.
