Scientific paper

The use of in situ measurements on the Martian surface can greatly improve our ability to select sample return materials with high scientific potential and can be used to study the climate history of Mars. In this paper we discuss the principles of sample preparation, gas chromatography, mass spectrometry, and related techniques that can achieve the measurement objectives described in a companion abstract. Here we also discuss an investigation we have undertaken in coupling of a mass spectrometer to a differential scanning calorimeter such as that developed by the University of Arizona for the Mars Polar Lander MVACS payload.
