For Mars

Figure 5.5. Deformation-mechanism maps for MAR-M200 superalloy with (a) 100 pm and (b) 10 mm grain size. The rectangular box shows typical conditions of operation of a turbine blade, (after Frost and Ashby 1982). (c) A barchart showing the range of values of expansion coefficient for generic materials classes. The range for all materials spans a factor of almost. 3000 that for a class spans, typically, a factor of 20 (after Ashby 1998).

The %HIA, on a scale between 0 and 100%, for the same dataset was modeled by Deconinck et al. with multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) and a derived method two-step MARS (TMARS) [38]. Among other Dragon descriptors, the TMARS model included the Tig E-state topological parameter [25], and MARS included the maximal E-state negative variation. The average prediction error, which is 15.4% for MARS and 20.03% for TMARS, shows that the MARS model is more robust in modeling %H1A. 

Of the two models, homogeneous accretion is generally favoured. H. Wancke from the Max Planck Institute in Mainz (1986) described a variant of this model, in which the terrestrial planets were formed from two different components. Component A was highly reduced, containing elements with metallic character (such as Fe, Co, Ni, W) but poor in volatile and partially volatile elements. Component B was completely oxidized and contained elements with metallic character as their oxides, as well as a relatively high proportion of volatile elements and water. For the Earth, the ratio A B is calculated to be 85 15, while for Mars it is 60 40. According to this model, component B (and thus water) only arrived on Earth towards the end of the accretion phase, i.e., after the formation of the core. This means that only some of the water was able to react with the metallic fraction. 

The special position of the Earth among the terrestrial planets is also shown by the availability of free water. On Venus and Mars, it has not until now been possible to detect any free water there is, however, geological and atmospheric evidence that both planets were either partially or completely covered with water during their formation phase. This can be deduced from certain characteristics of their surfaces and from the composition of their atmospheres. The ratio of deuterium to hydrogen (D/H) is particularly important here both Mars and Venus have a higher D/H ratio than that of the Earth. For Mars, the enrichment factor is around 5, and in the case of Venus, 100 (deBergh, 1993). 

In spite of many new, and in some cases sensational, results concerning the Red Planet, we are still no nearer to answering the question of life on Mars. Four alternatives appear possible for Mars ...

A Follow-the-Water strategy has been adopted for Mars Exploration. Hoehler et al. (2007) suggested a Follow-the-Energy approach. The primary objective of the MER mission is to explore two sites on Mars where water may once have been present, and to assess past environmental conditions at those sites and their suitability for life (Squyres et al. 2003).

Lefort A process for making ethylene oxide by oxidizing ethylene in the presence of a silver catalyst. Invented and developed in the 1930s by T. E. Lefort at the Societe Frangaise de Catalyse. For mar r years, refinements of this basic process were operated in competition with the ethylene chlorohydrin process, but by 1980 it was the sole process in use.

The necessary starting point for any study of the chemistry of a planetary atmosphere is the dissociation of molecules, which results from the absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation. This atmospheric chemistry must take into account not only the general characteristics of the atmosphere (constitution), but also its particular chemical constituents (composition). The absorption of solar radiation can be attributed to carbon dioxide (C02) for Mars and Venus, to molecular oxygen (02) for the Earth, and to methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) for Jupiter and the outer planets. 

The resulting Soln. C is a predominantly NaCl solution similar to terrestrial seawater (Soln. D, Table 5.3). Had we chosen a concentration factor of 600-fold, the agreement would have been even better. In any case, the concentration factor is arbitrary. The point is that simple processes, starting with a dilute Fe-Mg-HC03-rich solution formed by reaction of water with ultra-mafic and mafic rocks, evaporation, and carbonate precipitation, converted the solution into an Earth-like seawater NaCl brine. The Na/Mg ratio of solution C is 9.9, while terrestrial seawater has a Na/Mg ratio of 8.8 (Soln. 5.3D). Note also the similar pH values (8.03 and 8.05, Table 5.3). This solution did not (cannot) evolve into an alkali soda-lake composition as some have hypothesized or assumed for Mars (e.g., Kempe and Kazmierczak 1997 Morse and Marion 1999) because the mass of hypothesized soluble iron and magnesium and the low solubility of their respective carbonate minerals are sufficient to precipitate most of the initial soluble bicarbonate/carbonate ions.

This estimate for Mars is consistent with the 4.5 Gyr age for ALH 84001, the oldest known martian meteorite. 

Figure 5 Mg/Si versus Al/Si weight ratios show that martian meteorites and Mars rocks and soils are depleted in Al, relative to terrestrial rocks. Filled circles are basaltic shergottites, open circles are Pherzolitic shergottites, filled squares are nakhlites and chassignites, open square is orthopyroxenite, and larger symbols are for Mars rocks and soils analyzed in situ (after Rieder et aL, 1991 McSween, 2002).
