Detecting Shock Effects on Mars Using Mineral Spectroscopy
Abstract
Some samples analyzed by Mars2020 will be cached for MSR. Shock may lower caching value for geochronology studies. Shock is seen with Raman and luminescence spectroscopy. We discuss spectral shock indicators and challenges to informing MSR decisions.
