Stand-off Raman spectroscopic detection of minerals on planetary surfaces.
We have designed and developed two breadboard versions of stand-off Raman spectroscopic systems for landers based on a 5-in. Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope and a small (4-in. diameter) Newtonian telescope receiver. These systems are capable of measuring the Raman spectra of minerals located at a distance of 4.5-66 m from the telescope. Both continuous wave (CW) Ar-ion and frequency doubled Nd:YA...
متن کاملFull title Effect of grain size distribution on Raman analyses and the consequences for in situ planetary missions Short title Effect of grain size distribution on Raman analyses Authors and affiliations
Raman spectroscopy can be used for analysing both mineral and organic phases, thus allowing characterisation of the microbial-scale geological context as well as the search for possible traces of life. This method is therefore very useful for in situ planetary exploration missions. Compared to the myriad of sample preparation techniques available in terrestrial laboratories, the possibilities f...
متن کاملMineralogy, Raman spectroscopy and lattice parameter characterization of biotite with hexagonal structure from Borujerd hornfels and migmatites
Biotite is a common rock-forming mineral and accepts a variety of elements in its structure. The valuable information of crystallization conditions of the biotite mineral obtain on natural biotite composition. The biotite mineral is one of the main mineral phases of pelitic rocks which are formed in a wide range of geological conditions. In this research, microscopic mineralogy, Raman spectrosc...
متن کاملRaman Spectroscopy System for Mineral Analysis on Planetary Surfaces
There is currently a need for a landerbased or rover-based instrument to characterize minerals on planetary surfaces due to future missions planned to the moon and Mars. Several papers have proposed a Raman spectroscopy system for such instrument because of many advantages of its many advantages over other techniques. In this paper, three Raman spectroscopy systems developed by three different ...
متن کاملA Fast and Fully Automated Classification Scheme for the Identification of Mineral Mixtures in Raman
Introduction: Raman spectroscopy has long been considered a next step for planetary surface characterization. Our motivation for implementation of new algorithms in this area arises from the need to expedite and more robustly classify Raman spectra obtained on Earth-based planetary analog samples composed of mineralogical mixtures (e.g. containing clays, sulfates, carbonates, and natural rock s...
