  • LUNAR AND PLANETARY EXPLORATION  (2)

    Description: This paper describes the first direct determination (performed by electron spin resonance spectroscopy) of Ti(3+) in hibonite from inclusion SH-7 of the Murchison C2 chondrite and in synthetic hibonites of four compositions, three of which corresponded to the compositions of blue hibonites and one to that of an orange hibonite. The Ti(3+) concentration in the hibonite from SH-7 was found to range from 0.35 to 0.44 percent, while the Ti(3+) contents in three synthetic blue hibonites ranged from 0.02 to 0.64 percent. Orange hibonite contained no Ti(3+), supporting an earlier conclusion that the orange-to-blue transition is associated with the presence of Ti(3+). At constant temperature and oxygen fugacity, the Ti(3+)/Ti(4+) ratio in synthetic hibonites was found to increase with decreasing V, but was not strongly dependent on bulk Ti. Fe and Cr contents did not have a significant effect on the amount of Ti(3+).

    Description: Although the Viking Landers failed to find any evidence of life on the surface of Mars, much remains unknown. Study of returned samples can answer some of these questions. The search for organic compounds, the building blocks of life forms based on carbon chemistry, should continue. The question of life on Mars is still an open one, and deserves to be addressed by the study of returned samples. Whether life developed and evolved on Mars or not depends critically on the history of the Martian atmosphere and hydrosphere. The exobiology of Mars is thus inextrically intertwined with the nature of its paleoatmosphere and the ancient state of the planet's regolith, which may still be preserved in the polar caps and underground. Core samples from such sites could answer some of the questions.
