关于举办大连化物所文化讲坛第63讲 火星上到底有没有生命?-—穆斯堡尔谱仪对火星的探测 Roving the Red Planet: Spirit, Opportunity and the Exploration of Mars 的通知

  The purpose of the Mars mission is to look for geological evidence concerning whether the red planet had conditions on its surface that would have been suitable for life as we know it. In other words, we set out to look for sedimentary rocks: a sure sign that there was once water on Mars.

  After seven years of intense exploration and key discoveries on Mars, the rovers are showing signs of age. The rover Spirit became blocked in a sand trap, and its now hibernating... The rover Opportunity is learning from the difficulties encountered by her sister and is continuing the exploration of Mars.

  You will be introduced to these rovers' curriculum vitae. You will see how they were born, constructed, tested, packaged, sent to Mars and changed our knowledge about the history of Mars and of our Solar System. Results from its instruments, including a minaturised Mossbaquer spectrometer (MIMOS II) developed by Dr Klingelhoefer's group at the University on Mainz, Germany, will be presented.
