Scientific paper

The scintillation gamma spectrometer on board the Phobos-2 spacecraft is used to investigate the element composition of Martian rocks. The characteristic gamma radiation of the rocks contains information about their elemental composition and comprises not more than 20 percent of the radiation detected. The data analysis includes: background correction, decomposition of the spectra into continuous and characteristic components, and calculation of element concentration by means of monoelement response functions. Data on the elemental composition of Martian rocks, specifically, for the lunar plateau and the large volcanoes of the Tharsis elevation are obtained.
