A Mars 2020 Perseverance SuperCam Perspective on the Igneous Nature of the Maaz Formation at Jezero Crater and Link With Seitah, Mars

A. Udry et al.

Summary: The Maaz formation and the Content member in Jezero crater consist of different lava flows and/or pyroclastic flows with complex textures. They display low magnesium content and a wide diversity in compositions and textures compared to other Martian igneous rocks. The study of returned Maaz samples will contribute to understanding the formation processes, improving crater counting techniques, and enhancing our knowledge of magmatism on Mars.

Overview and Results From the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover's First Science Campaign on the Jezero Crater Floor

Vivian Z. Sun et al.

Summary: The Mars 2020 Perseverance rover successfully landed in Jezero crater on February 18, 2021. The rover's first science campaign explored the crater floor and revealed the origins and characteristics of the Maaz and Seitah formations, leading to significant scientific discoveries. The campaign achieved important milestones and has significant implications for understanding the geological history and past habitability of the crater.

Insight into martian crater degradation history based on crater depth and diameter statistics

Sylvain Breton et al.

Summary: Impact craters are widely used to investigate the geologic history of planetary surfaces. In this study, the authors propose a method to combine crater density and morphology, resulting in the Crater Size and Depth Frequency Distribution (CSDFD) that can provide insights into the obliteration history of the crater population. Results obtained from applying this method to Mars' global crater database are consistent with the known geologic history of the planet, and also reveal continuous activity in the Northern Lowlands surface.

Digital elevation model workflow improvements for the MarsSI platform and resulting orthorectified mosaic of Oxia Planum, the landing site of the ExoMars 2022 rover

Matthieu Volat et al.

Summary: In this publication, the study focuses on improving the quality and speed of DEM generation procedures from stereo-photogrammetry pipeline of the MarsSI online service. A new workflow relying on semi-global matching algorithms and a two steps approach is proposed, resulting in artifacts/noise reduction in the products and improved co-registration of the outputs. This new workflow is used in the production of mosaic of ground models and orthorectified images, as illustrated with the example of the orthorectified HiRISE images mosaic in the Exomars project.

Compositionally and density stratified igneous terrain in Jezero crater, Mars

Roger C. Wiens et al.

Summary: The study reveals that the subsurface of Jezero crater is primarily composed of volcanic and intrusive terrains with compositional and density stratification. Basaltic rocks with higher plagioclase content are found in higher stratigraphic locations, while layered rocks with more normative pyroxene are found in lower stratigraphic layers. The lowest observed unit with the highest inferred density is olivine-rich and shows characteristics of cumulate origin. The presence of alteration materials suggests relatively brief lacustrine conditions. Orbital observations connect the lithology of the Jezero floor to the broader Nili-Syrtis region, indicating regional density-driven compositional stratification.

Perseverance rover reveals an ancient delta-lake system and flood deposits at Jezero crater, Mars

N. Mangold et al.

Summary: Observations from the Perseverance rover on Mars reveal a fan-shaped body of sedimentary rock in Jezero crater, indicating a transition from sustained hydrologic activity in a persistent lake environment to highly energetic short-duration fluvial flows. The presence of inclined strata and boulder conglomerates in the outcrops suggest evidence of deltas advancing into a lake and deposition by episodic high-energy floods.

The Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover Mast Camera Zoom (Mastcam-Z) Multispectral, Stereoscopic Imaging Investigation

J. F. Bell et al.

Summary: Mastcam-Z is a multispectral, stereoscopic imaging investigation tool on the Perseverance rover for the Mars 2020 mission. It consists of a pair of focusable, 4:1 zoomable cameras that provide detailed color imaging with high resolution. Mastcam-Z will be used for capturing morphology, topography, and geological context, as well as documenting sample extraction and caching locations, supporting sample selection, driving decisions, and other rover operations.

A New Martian Crater Chronology: Implications for Jezero Crater

Simone Marchi

Summary: Crater chronologies provide valuable insights into the ages of planetary surfaces, especially in cases where direct radiometric dating is not feasible. Martian crater chronologies are based on lunar crater spatial densities and involve complex extrapolations from the Moon to Mars. The study introduces a new Martian crater chronology based on current dynamical models and highlights the uncertainties stemming from factors such as impactor size-frequency distribution and the dynamical evolution of the early Solar System. The findings suggest significant differences from previous chronologies and provide new insights into the formation ages of specific Martian terrains, with implications for future missions and refinements in dynamical models.

Stratigraphic Relationships in Jezero Crater, Mars: Constraints on the Timing of Fluvial-Lacustrine Activity From Orbital Observations

S. Holm-Alwmark et al.

Summary: By investigating the geologic assemblage in the Jezero crater on Mars, researchers explored the stratigraphic relations and relative ages of deltaic deposits, which are crucial for understanding the evolution of the crater system and inferring the possible timeline of habitable environments. The inferred age of the floor assemblage can help constrain the timing of the Jezero fluviolacustrine system, providing valuable insights into the geologic history of the area.
