 Space Exploration and Unique Challenges, Solutions and Methodologies for Astromaterials Analyses


                                     Zia Rahman

Abstract:

This seminar outlines and discusses innovative ways to perform various types of coordinated analyses with planetary materials utilizing the focused ion beam (FIB) synchrotron beamlines, nano-SIMS and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques, providing several examples using instruments at the NASA Johnson Space Center. The presentation will cover brief insights of various NASA missions, including sample return missions and meteorites. These samples can provide fundamental information about the conditions in the early solar system, processes prevalent in small bodies, and key pathways to forming planets. Water on Earth and terrestrial planets is often attributed to impacts of water-rich asteroids with proto-Earth. In addition, this presentation will briefly discuss current robotic missions on Mars, science on ISS, NASA’s future missions to Mars and going back to the Moon, the ARTEMIS mission.
