ADMIN NOTE: Hi All, a new topic for the discussion of the science from the SAM and Chemin instruments.
There has been a very important amendment to Rule 1.3 which is explained here. Please remember Rule 1.3 at all times when discussing matters in this section. |

For the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference (2013) the abstract POSSIBLE DETECTION OF PERCHLORATES BY EVOLVED GAS ANALYSIS OF ROCKNEST SOILS: GLOBAL IMPLICATIONS is already available. Old Viking results are also discussed.

With the Viking data showing chlorohydrocarbons and looking back it looks very much like a part of this was created by the same mechanism observed in the SAM instrument. This makes it look like there was perchlorate at the two Viking landing sites on the one for Phoenix and at MSL. So the perchlorates are everywhere. The Biemann Navarro-Gonzales dispute on the Viking results may go into the second round.
