Mars, Tennessee
… at a chocolate factory in a small southern town, Mars, Tennessee showcases the daily moments of employees – from temp workers to executive management – that define them as people. In the short story “Beyond Our Raising,” Lynn “Duke” Norris suffers material loss but gains emotional power, learning …

Habitat on Mars
… to develop a habitat for human settlement on Mars. Currently, most designs for living on Mars focus primarily on survival and emphasize the technological aspects necessary for sustaining life. However, there is a lack of holistic consideration for what life on Mars would entail beyond mere …

Multiple Glaciations on Mars?
<p>The existence of ice on Mars has been known since the first photographs of the red planet were taken. Visible ice exists at both the north and south poles of Mars, but, beneath debris at mid-latitude regions, ice also exists. Specifically, ice has been proven to exist within a lobate debris …

Mars Settlement Master Plan
The future of human extraterrestrial exploration begins with the establishment of a sustainable, optimally- independent Martian settlement. While many designs for this settlement exist, plans for the temporal development and logical transition from short-term to long-term settlement must be …

Surface roughness of Mars
… for the saturation of data collected by the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA). Saturation of the energy measurements had made it impossible to measure surface roughness at 100 m length scales. By calculating the returned energy, the problem of saturation can be avoided. This algorithm was …

Behavioral Motivation of Prospective Mars’ Crewmembers
… hoping to find life on other planets such as Mars. This research was conducted to explore the effects on human behavior and willingness to go to Mars when individuals were informed about all the possible risks. Two studies were conducted to examine the participants. First, through an online …

Debris flows on Earth and Mars
… these methods, I then confirmed that gullies on Mars contain the signature of debris flow. In addition, these investigations revealed a strong climatic signal in gully development. Laboratory simulation experiments showed that under present martian climate liquid water can not only survive for …

Low frequency plasma waves at Mars
Mars Global Surveyor's magnetometer/electron reflectometer (MAG/ER) experiment has returned over eight years of observations of low frequency plasma waves produced in the interaction of the solar wind with the Martian ionosphere. Using the MAG/ER data, I identify the properties and physical origins …

Integration of a testbed for examining the interaction of Mars rover wheels with a Mars soil simulant
… on a testbed for examining the interaction of Mars rover wheels with a Mars soil simulant. The testbed included a horizontal carriage that had a encoder to measure the horizontal displacement of the Mars rover wheel. A DC motor was attached to the top of the carriage and controlled the …

Laboratory Characterization of Mars In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) using the Mars Oxygen ISRU Experiment (MOXIE) FlatSat Testbed
The Mars Oxygen In-Situ Resource Utilization Experiment (MOXIE) is a payload onboard NASA’s Perseverance Rover demonstrating the production of oxygen through solid oxide electrolysis of carbon dioxide in the Martian atmosphere. MOXIE has successfully generated oxygen on Mars 14 times since landing …

Geology of Hebes Chasma, Valles Marineris, Mars
Hebes Chasma is an 8 km deep, 126 by 314 km, isolated basin that is partially filled with interior layered deposits (ILD), massive deposits of water altered strata. By analyzing the ILD’s structure, stratigraphy and mineralogy, as well as the perimeter faults exposed in the plateau adjacent to the …
