Abstract
- The Curiosity rover on Mars, landed in 2012, is capable of mineralogical investigation using X-ray diffraction, complementing the abundant infrared remote sensing data already available on clay minerals. We can, however, expect that the in situ X-ray diffraction information will convey a more complex picture than that inferred from infrared spectroscopy alone. CheMin has landed.
