Water alteration of rocks and soils on mars at the spirit rover site in Gusev crater
Article Abstract:
The investigations of soils, rock coatings and rock interiors by the Spirit rover from sol 1 to sol 156, from its landing sites to the base of the Columbia hills are reported. The physical and chemical characteristics of the material that are analyzed provide evidence for limited but unequivocal interaction between water and the volcanic rocks of the Gusev rocks.
