The COSPAR Planetary Protection Policy for robotic missions to Mars: A review of current scientific knowledge and future perspectives

Karen Olsson-Francis et al.

Summary: Planetary protection guidelines for Martian exploration have gained significant attention due to increasing scientific interest in the habitability of Mars, advancements in technology, and the involvement of various organizations in space activities. The COSPAR Panel on Planetary Protection has developed international standards in consultation with the scientific community and space agencies, providing guidance for compliance with the Outer Space Treaty. In 2021, the Panel assessed recent scientific data and literature to evaluate the planetary protection requirements for Mars and discuss future steps for robotic missions.

Dust particle size, shape and optical depth during the 2018/MY34 martian global dust storm retrieved by MSL Curiosity rover Navigation Cameras

H. Chen-Chen et al.

Summary: Martian planet-encircling dust storms, which occur approximately every 3-4 million years, have a significant impact on atmospheric properties, energy budget, and global circulation. In the 2018/MY34 global dust storm, an intensive atmospheric science campaign was conducted by the Mars Science Laboratory to monitor environmental parameters.

The Mars Dust Activity Database (MDAD): A comprehensive statistical study of dust storm sequences

Michael Battalio et al.

Summary: The Mars Dust Activity Database (MDAD) compiles data on dust storms over 8 Mars years, revealing trends in storm instances, sequences, and seasonal variations. Dust storms primarily originate in the northern hemisphere of Mars, with distinct types of storm sequences and characteristics of continuous development of storm members.

Enhanced water loss from the martian atmosphere during a regional-scale dust storm and implications for long-term water loss

J. A. Holmes et al.

Summary: The late southern summer regional-scale dust storm in Mars Year 34 led to an increase in water loss rates and hydrogen release, similar to global-scale dust storms. The influx of water vapor to higher altitudes resulted in an associated increase in hydrogen escape, affecting the calculation of water loss on Mars and insights into planetary evolution.

Effect of dust particle size on the climate of Mars

Yemeng Wang et al.

Summary: This study revealed that the Martian climate is significantly impacted by small dust particles, especially in the lower atmosphere during the dust season. Increasing the ratio of small dust particles may result in an increase in heating rate, temperature, westerly wind, and winds associated with the Hadley circulation, while decreasing easterly winds over the equatorial region. Additionally, the effects of increasing the ratio of small dust particles are more pronounced during the second episodic dust period in the dust season, likely due to the longer sedimentation time for small dust particles.
