China set to retrieve Martian soil samples by 2030

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Apr 26, 2024

China is on course to potentially be the first nation to return Martian soil to Earth, in what is considered a significant scientific and engineering feat, according to a prominent space scientist.
Wu Weiren, a member of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and a leading figure at the China National Space Administration, remarked this week in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei province, that China intends to collect samples from Mars and transport them back to Earth by 2030 as part of the historic Tianwen 3 mission, which is the third phase of China’s interplanetary exploration program.
“Based on the current progress of other nations’ Martian exploration projects, China is expected to become the first to complete a sample-return mission from Mars,” he stated, adding that preparations for the world’s first Martian sample laboratory are underway.
Details on the timing of the mission were not provided.
According to CNSA mission planners, the Tianwen 3 mission will consist of a lander, an ascender, an orbiter, and a reentry module. The mission is slated for launch aboard two Long March 5 heavy-lift rockets from the Wenchang Space Launch Center in Hainan.
The lander and ascender will follow an Earth-Mars transfer trajectory, perform orbital corrections, and attempt a soft-landing on Mars aided by engine power.
The orbiter and reentry module will also travel to Martian orbit to relay signals and await the collection of samples.
After collecting the samples and sealing them in a vacuumed metal container, the ascender will propel them into orbit to meet the reentry module. After transferring the samples, it will undock and the orbiter stack will return to Earth’s orbit. The reentry module will then separate and navigate back to a designated landing site on Earth.
If successful, these samples will be the first from Mars, offering new insights into potential life, Martian geology, and atmospheric conditions.
Yang Yuguang, a prominent space industry observer and vice-chair of the International Astronautical Federation’s Space Transportation Committee, highlighted the historic nature of such missions, noting the complexity of Martian sample retrieval compared to lunar missions due to Mars’ challenging atmosphere.
“First, anyone who wishes to retrieve Martian soil needs to, in the first place, take to the planet a craft which can lift off from the Martian surface to send samples to Martian orbit, and that means such a craft must be large enough to contain engines and propellants.
“And landing a large craft safely on the Martian surface would be exceptionally challenging, considering the fact that landing on Mars is far more difficult than a lunar landing due to the complex atmosphere surrounding Mars,” he elaborated.
Navigational and docking challenges in Martian orbit present significant technical hurdles due to the vast distance from Earth, he added.
China’s Mars program began with Tianwen 1, launched in July 2020, which successfully deployed the Zhurong rover on Mars in May 2021. Tianwen 2, aimed at retrieving asteroid samples, is projected to launch by 2025 and return samples by 2027.

Hera mission plans Mars flyby en route to asteroid study 
by Erica Marchand 
Paris, France (SPX) Apr 26, 2024

ESA’s Hera mission, aimed at planetary defense, will utilize a Mars flyby in March next year to gain velocity as it heads towards the Didymos binary asteroid system. During this maneuver, Hera will approach Mars within 6,000 km-closer than Mars’ moons’ orbits-and adjust its trajectory to closely observe Mars’ moon Deimos and the Martian surface itself.
The flyby details were discussed at the Hera Science Community Workshop at the ESTEC center in the Netherlands. “This swingby is part of the scheduled manoeuvres to get Hera to Didymos by the end of its two-year cruise phase,” explains Michael Kueppers, ESA’s Hera project scientist. He described the added velocity from Mars’ gravitational pull as critical for the mission’s trajectory towards Didymos.
Pablo Munoz, a Flight Dynamics engineer at ESA’s European Space Operations Centre in Germany who is part of the Mission Analysis team, explained the trajectory planning: “It’s truly fortunate that Mars happens to be at the right location and at the right time to give Hera a hand. This enabled us to design a trajectory that uses the gravity of Mars to push Hera towards its rendezvous with Didymos, resulting in great fuel savings for the mission. Part of the excess propellant can then be spent in advancing the arrival at the binary asteroid by a few months, thus maximising the mission’s planetary defence and science return.”
The mission follows NASA’s DART spacecraft’s successful demonstration of the kinetic impact technique for altering an asteroid’s orbit in 2022. Hera will closely examine the impacted Dimorphos asteroid to gather essential data on its mass, composition, and structure.
Patrick Michel, Director of Research at CNRS at Observatoire de la Cote d’Azur in Nice and Hera’s Principal Investigator, emphasized the mission’s broader scientific potential: “Hera’s instruments have been designed to observe Dimorphos of course, but the potential is there to turn up interesting insights about the distinctively asteroid-like Deimos as well,” he noted.
The mission will also coordinate observations with other Mars missions like the Emirates Mars Mission ‘Hope Probe’ and possibly ESA’s Mars Express and ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, as well as the upcoming MMX mission by Japan, which includes a rover landing on Phobos.
During the Mars swingby, Hera will use three instruments to gather data: the main Asteroid Framing Camera, the HyperScout-H for spectral analysis, and the Thermal Infrared Imager for temperature mapping.

The initial crew in a yearlong NASA Mars analog mission at the CHAPEA (Crew Health and Performance Exploration Analog) facility has reached the 300-day milestone. Initiated on June 25, 2023, at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, the mission is slated for completion on July 6, 2024.
This team, consisting of four volunteers, has been immersed in a series of activities designed to simulate Mars exploration. Over the duration, they conducted various simulated Marswalks, cultivated and consumed fresh salad crops alongside their regular diet of shelf-stable foods, and managed both habitat and equipment maintenance.
NASA’s broader objective includes the Artemis missions, aiming for sustained lunar exploration and science. These missions are set to achieve several firsts: landing the first woman, the first person of color, and the first international partner astronaut on the Moon. The technology developed for the Artemis missions will also support NASA’s long-term goal of manned Mars missions, leveraging both lunar experiences and terrestrial simulations like CHAPEA to prepare for these future endeavors.

Exploring methane mysteries on Mars: Curiosity Rover’s new findings

Los Angeles CA (SPX) Apr 23, 2024

NASA’s Curiosity Mars Rover has revealed that methane is emerging from Gale Crater’s surface, presenting a puzzling scenario for scientists. On Earth, most methane is biologically produced, yet Mars shows no clear signs of life, past or present, making this discovery unexpected. Curiosity’s onboard laboratory, Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM), has consistently detected methane traces, suggesting a geological origin involving underground water and rocks.
However, SAM has also observed that the methane’s presence is transient and variable. It emerges at night and vanishes by day, with seasonal fluctuations and occasional surges up to 40 times above normal levels. Intriguingly, the European Space Agency’s ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, tasked specifically with studying Martian atmospheric gases, has not detected methane, adding to the enigma.
“It’s a story with a lot of plot twists,” explained Ashwin Vasavada, project scientist for Curiosity at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
A new theory proposed by NASA researchers may shed light on this mystery. Detailed in a recent study published in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, the team suggests that methane might be trapped under salt formations within the Martian soil, known as regolith. These salt caps could periodically break, releasing methane, especially under conditions like temperature increases or physical disturbances, such as those caused by rover activity.
The hypothesis originated from Alexander Pavlov’s earlier unrelated experiments with Martian permafrost models, which inadvertently produced a salt crust that could potentially seal and release gases. Testing this theory, Pavlov’s team at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center simulated Martian conditions, revealing that gas could indeed be trapped and then released from beneath these seals, depending on environmental conditions.
“This could explain why we only detect methane in specific conditions and locations, such as Gale Crater,” Pavlov stated. His team plans to further investigate the role of different Martian salts in gas entrapment.
This research is part of ongoing efforts to understand methane’s role and behavior on Mars, highlighted as a key area of interest in the 2022 NASA Planetary Mission Senior Review. Consistent and comprehensive methane tracking is necessary, notes Charles Malespin, SAM’s principal investigator, but is challenging due to the resource demands of such experiments.
“Methane studies are complex and require strategic planning,” Malespin said. Future missions equipped with advanced surface instruments will likely continue this investigation, aiming to resolve these Martian methane mysteries definitively.

NASA Mars helicopter sends last message to Earth

Washington (AFP) April 17, 2024

 NASA’s Ingenuity Mars helicopter has transmitted its final message to Earth and will now serve as an immobile data-gathering unit on the red planet’s surface, the space agency said on Tuesday. 
The tissue box-sized aircraft made history by achieving the first powered flight on another planet after hitching a ride under the belly of the Perseverance rover, which first lifted off the surface on April 19, 2021.
“A long goodbye,” NASA said on social media site X.
“Ingenuity’s team received their final message from the #MarsHelicopter, which will now serve as a stationary testbed, collecting data that could benefit future explorers of the Red Planet.”
Originally intended only to prove flight was possible in the ultra-thin Martian atmosphere through five test runs, Ingenuity defied all expectations.
It was deployed a total of 72 times, logging more than two hours of flight time in short hops, overcoming dust storms, treacherous terrain, a dead sensor and frigid conditions.
Its mission evolved to act as an aerial scout to assist its wheeled companion in searching for signs of ancient microbial life from billions of years ago when Mars was much wetter and warmer than today. 
Designed to operate in springtime, its solar-powered heating system was unable to remain on throughout the night in winter. That led to the flight computer freezing over and forced engineers to devise new protocols.
NASA said on Monday it was attempting to bring Martian rocks collected by the Perseverance rover back to Earth faster and more cheaply, with the agency facing mounting criticism for going massively over budget.
The effort comes as China is making progress towards a simpler “grab-and-go” sample return mission to the red planet “around 2030,” according to state media, which would make it the first nation to achieve the feat.

Comet Geyser: Perseverance’s 24th Rock Core 
by Adrian Broz, Postdoctoral Scientist at Purdue University/University of Oregon 
Pasadena CA (JPL) Apr 17, 2024

</center> 
 
After investigating the high-standing bedrock at the Bunsen Peak workspace deep within the Margin Unit, the unique nature and composition of this rock was deemed worthy for collection of Perseverance’s 24th rock core sample, Comet Geyser!
Bunsen Peak is named after a prominent peak in Yellowstone National, Park, Wyoming, USA, and the namesake for Comet Geyser is the silica-sintered cone geyser also in Yellowstone National Park.
Although this rock’s origin remains under investigation and the rover team continues to explore different hypotheses, this core is particularly exciting because it appears to be composed primarily of two minerals: carbonate and silica. Carbonate and silica are both excellent minerals for preserving biosignatures (ancient signs of life). These minerals also have the potential to record the environmental conditions in which they formed, making them important minerals for understanding the habitability of Jezero crater billions of years ago.
The presence of carbonate within the Comet Geyser sample suggests that water, carbon dioxide, and chemical elements derived from rocks or sediments in and around ancient Jezero crater once reacted here to form carbonate.
Carbonate minerals from Earth’s rock record are often used to reconstruct ancient climate–including conditions like temperature, precipitation, and aridity–and the history of life. Similarly, silica phases form when water interacts with rocks or sediments. The composition and crystallinity of silica can reveal the extent of the interaction with water, such as the intensity or duration of weathering and the pressure/temperature conditions during formation.
On Earth, biosignatures can be preserved in carbonate and silica for millions of years, or even billions of years in the case of silica. Some of the oldest evidence we have of life on Earth is from rocks that contain fragments of microbial cells that were “permineralized” by silica, a fossilization process that entombs the residues of ancient life and protects them from degradation.
Thus, rocks containing these materials are considered among the highest priority samples for investigating whether Jezero crater was once host to microbial life. Perseverance’s 24th core sample at Bunsen Peak represents a significant milestone towards collection of a scientifically diverse set of samples for eventual return to Earth as part of the Mars Sample Return mission.
With rock core #24 now onboard, Perseverance presses forward towards its next strategic objective of investigating a location called Bright Angel, which is a light-toned outcrop exposed in the ancient channel wall of Neretva Vallis.
Challenges may arise on this journey, as the terrain ahead is littered with sharp boulders and sand that are proving difficult for the rover’s auto-navigation system. The mission’s rover planners are working hard to manually navigate this tricky terrain. In the meantime, the science team is eagerly anticipating the secrets the rocks of Bright Angel may hold!

The final transmission at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory marked the end of active operations for the Ingenuity Mars Helicopter but the beginning of its new role as a stationary data collector.
On April 16, engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory bid farewell to active missions of NASA’s Ingenuity Mars Helicopter, a pioneering aircraft on Mars. Although the formal mission concluded on January 25, Ingenuity remains in contact with the Perseverance rover, relaying data through the Deep Space Network’s antennas.
The helicopter now prepares for a stationary existence, focusing on collecting valuable data for future Martian exploration.
“With apologies to Dylan Thomas, Ingenuity will not be going gently into that good Martian night,” remarked Josh Anderson, Ingenuity team lead. “It is almost unbelievable that after over 1,000 Martian days, 72 flights, and one rough landing, she still has something to give. And thanks to the dedication of this amazing team, not only did Ingenuity overachieve beyond our wildest dreams, but also it may teach us new lessons in the years to come.”
Originally intended for a brief technology demonstration of five test flights over 30 days, Ingenuity exceeded expectations by flying for nearly three years, surpassing its flight distance goals by 14 times, and logging over two hours of flight time.
Following a hard landing on its final flight, which damaged its rotor blades and grounded it at “Valinor Hills,” Ingenuity will now remain stationary as Perseverance moves on to explore new areas of Jezero Crater.
The team commemorated their last communication with a slice of “Final Comms” chocolate cake while verifying telemetry from a recent software update meant to keep Ingenuity active in data collection. The helicopter will daily test its solar panels, batteries, and electronics, take surface pictures, and gather temperature data, contributing to our understanding of Martian climate and terrain.
A farewell message with the names of the mission’s team members was relayed from Ingenuity, capturing the spirit of their achievements.
“If a critical component fails or the solar panel is obscured by dust, whatever data collected will stay preserved in Ingenuity’s memory, potentially offering insights for up to 20 years,” stated Teddy Tzanetos, project manager at JPL.
This data might one day be retrieved by future Mars missions, be they rovers, aircraft, or astronauts, thus continuing Ingenuity’s legacy of innovation and exploration.

In an effort to further humanity’s journey to Mars, NASA has carefully selected a diverse group of four volunteers to undergo an intensive 45-day simulated mission to the Red Planet. This simulation will take place at the Johnson Space Center’s Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA), a facility meticulously designed to mimic the conditions of space travel and planetary exploration.
Participants Jason Lee, Stephanie Navarro, Shareef Al Romaithi, and Piyumi Wijesekara will immerse themselves in this rigorous experiment starting May 10, with a scheduled “return to Earth” on June 24. Their mission within HERA’s confines is not just an exercise in isolation; it is a sophisticated simulation of life on Mars, complete with virtual reality walks on the Martian surface and simulated communication delays with Earth to mimic the real challenges astronauts will face.
HERA’s mission is twofold: to prepare astronauts for the psychological and physical challenges of space travel and to allow scientists to study the effects of long-term confinement and isolation on the human body and mind. This year, HERA will host two additional crews, culminating in a final mission ending on December 20.
This round of simulations is marked by international collaboration, notably featuring Shareef Al Romaithi from the UAE, demonstrating the global effort in space exploration. This partnership with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre (MBRSC) enriches the program with diverse perspectives and expertise.
The simulation is part of NASA’s broader strategy to ensure that when the time comes for actual Mars missions, astronauts are well-prepared for the challenges they will face. Insights from the 18 human health studies conducted during these simulations, including collaborations with the MBRSC and the European Space Agency (ESA), will be critical. These studies aim to uncover how best to support astronauts’ health and well-being on long-duration missions, providing valuable data for future exploration.
Primary Crew Overview:
Jason Lee: Associate professor with expertise in thermal fluids and sports engineering, enthusiastic about running and martial arts.
Stephanie Navarro: Space operations officer and systems engineer with a passion for flying and exploring culinary arts.
Shareef Al Romaithi: Pilot and aerospace engineer from the UAE, interested in fishing and travel.
Piyumi Wijesekara: Research scientist specializing in the effects of spaceflight stressors on human physiology, enjoys outdoor activities and volunteering.
Alternate Crew:
Jose Baca: Engineering professor focused on autonomous vehicles and robotics, promotes STEM education.
Brandon Kent: Medical director in oncology, avid private pilot, and outdoor enthusiast.
As NASA and its international partners push the boundaries of space exploration, the HERA program stands as a testament to the meticulous preparation and collaborative effort required to extend humanity’s reach to Mars and beyond.

NASA Administrator Bill Nelson announced new strategies for the Mars Sample Return program, highlighting the agency’s initiative to incorporate innovative designs to ensure the successful return of Martian samples to Earth. These samples are expected to deepen our understanding of the solar system’s formation and evolution, provide insights for future human missions, and assist in the search for ancient life on Mars.
Over the past 25 years, NASA has been methodically researching Mars’ early history to shed light on the development of potentially habitable worlds, including our own planet. The Mars Sample Return has been an international goal for over two decades. Since its 2021 landing, NASA’s Perseverance rover has been collecting Martian samples for eventual Earth return.
“Mars Sample Return will be one of the most complex missions NASA has ever undertaken. The bottom line is, an $11 billion budget is too expensive, and a 2040 return date is too far away,” stated Nelson.
“Successfully collecting and launching samples from Mars, and transporting them over 33 million miles back to Earth are formidable challenges. We must explore innovative, cost-effective solutions to advance this mission within a feasible timeline.”
The agency has also responded to the Mars Sample Return Independent Review Board’s September 2023 report. Updates include simplified mission design, enhanced resiliency, improved risk management, and stronger coordination, aiming for a budget between $8 billion and $11 billion. Given fiscal constraints and the necessity of a balanced science portfolio, the mission is targeted for 2040.
To accelerate and reduce costs, NASA is engaging its community to develop a revised strategy that utilizes innovative and established technologies. The agency will soon request industry proposals for mission architectures that could return the samples in the 2030s while minimizing cost, risk, and complexity.
“NASA does visionary science – and returning diverse, scientifically-relevant samples from Mars is a key priority,” commented Nicky Fox, associate administrator of the Science Mission Directorate at NASA Headquarters.
“To organize a mission of this magnitude, we draw on decades of experience and lessons from conducting large missions and independent reviews. Our next steps will enable us to advance this transformative mission and uncover groundbreaking scientific data from Mars, providing vital new insights into the origins and evolution of Mars, our solar system, and life on Earth.”
