Does there exist a list of all the evidence of water on Mars, listed by spacecraft?
Ideally, it would be a list with a short description and a link to a story or news release. For example: Mars Global Surveyor: NASA Images Suggest Water Still Flows in Brief Spurts on Mars http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/new...s-20061206.html Phoenix: NASA Spacecraft Confirms Martian Water, Mission Extended http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/phoenix/...x-20080731.html Opportunity: NASA Mars Rover Finds Mineral Vein Deposited by Water http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mer/news/mer20111207.html I know I could spend some time and extend the list that I've started above, but if someone or some organization has already done it I'd hate to reinvent the wheel! Thank you. |

There was a conference earlier this month at UCLA on Mars Habitability: link below
http://planets.ucla.edu/meetings/mars-habi...y-2013/program/ Day One sessions include fascinating presentations on the possibility of transient liquid water near the surface today. Alfred McEwen gives a 30 min update on Mars RSL (Recurring Slope Lineae). They are now identifying sites at Vallis Marineris that track the sun. Also updates on Phoenix results are presented. Chemistry of perchlorates…. There are video and pdfs for most of the talks. Two examples: Behavior of Briny water at the Phoenix Landing site https://connect.arc.nasa.gov/p4cbkn97lbv/?l...p;pbMode=normal Recurring Slope Lineae (RSL): Flow of Briny Water on Present day Mars https://connect.arc.nasa.gov/p27eg800f7b/?l...p;pbMode=normal Craig |
