Lander rocket exhaust effects on Europa regolith nitrogen assays
Ralph D. Lorenz, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/artic...032063316300484 • Europa soft-landing is particularly susceptible to ammonia exhaust deposition on cold surface. • Europa may be starved of nitrogen so its compounds are of particular interest as limiting nutrients. • Abundance, nature and isotopic compositions may be affected by exhaust deposits. • Lunar, Mars landings suggest a region ~9 m around a 200 kg lander will be affected. |
