This text is inspired from a “Cours Bachelier” held in January 2009 and taught by Jean-Michel
Lasry. This course was based upon the articles of the three authors and upon unpublished …

Sedimentary rocks examined by the Curiosity rover at Yellowknife Bay, Mars, were derived
from sources that evolved from an approximately average martian crustal composition to one …

The ChemCam instrument package on the Mars Science Laboratory rover, Curiosity, is the
first planetary science instrument to employ laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to …

The Mars Science Laboratory rover Curiosity scooped samples of soil from the Rocknest
aeolian bedform in Gale crater. Analysis of the soil with the Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) …

The Rocknest aeolian deposit is similar to aeolian features analyzed by the Mars Exploration
