A-particle-X-ray spectrometer

Fig. 8.28 External view of the MIMOS II sensor head without contact plate assembly (left) MIMOS II sensor head mounted on the robotic arm (IDD) of the Mars Exploration Rover. The IDD also carries the a-Particle-X-ray Spectrometer APXS, also from Mainz, Germany, for elemental analysis, the Microscope Imager MI for high resolution microscopic pictures ( 30 pm per pixel), and the RAT for sample preparation (brushing grinding drilling (< 1 cm depth)).

Thermal Emission Spectrometer) instrument indicated the metallic nature of the rock [340]. Observations made with the panoramic camera and the microscopic image revealed that the surface of the rock is covered with pits interpreted as regmaglypts and indicate the presence of a coating on the surface. The a-Particle-X-ray spectrometer (APXS) and the Mossbauer spectrometer were used to investigate the undisturbed and the brushed surface of the rock. Based on the Ni and Ge... [Pg.457]
