Data from the Mars Science Laboratory CheMin XRD/XRF Instrument

The CheMin instrument on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover Curiosity uses a Co tube source and a CCD detector to acquire mineralogy from diffracted primary X-rays and chemical information from fluoresced X-rays. CheMin has been operating at the MSL Gale Crater field site since August 5, 2012 and has provided the first X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses in situ on a body beyond Earth. Data from the first sample collected, the Rocknest eolian soil, identify a basaltic mineral suite, predominantly plagioclase (approx.An50), forsteritic olivine (approx.Fo58), augite and pigeonite, consistent with expectation that detrital grains on Mars would reflect widespread basaltic sources. Minor phases (each <2 wt% of the crystalline component) include sanidine, magnetite, quartz, anhydrite, hematite and ilmenite. Significantly, about a third of the sample is amorphous or poorly ordered in XRD. This amorphous component is attested to by a broad rise in background centered at approx.27deg 2(theta) (Co K(alpha)) and may include volcanic glass, impact glass, and poorly crystalline phases including iron oxyhydroxides; a rise at lower 2(theta) may indicate allophane or hisingerite. Constraints from phase chemistry of the crystalline components, compared with a Rocknest bulk composition from the APXS instrument on Curiosity, indicate that in sum the amorphous or poorly crystalline components are relatively Si, Al, Mg-poor and enriched in Ti, Cr, Fe, K, P, S, and Cl. All of the identified crystalline phases are volatile-free; H2O, SO2 and CO2 volatile releases from a split of this sample analyzed by the SAM instrument on Curiosity are associated with the amorphous or poorly ordered materials. The Rocknest eolian soil may be a mixture of local detritus, mostly crystalline, with a regional or global set of dominantly amorphous or poorly ordered components. The Rocknest sample was targeted by MSL for "first time analysis" to demonstrate that a loose deposit could be scooped, sieved to <150 microns, and delivered to instruments in the body of the rover. A drilled sample of sediment in outcrop is anticipated. At the time of writing this abstract, promising outcrops are in range and this talk will provide an update on data collected with the CheMin instrument.

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and cannabinoids in secondhand cannabis smoke

The legalization of cannabis is exposing more people to secondhand smoke (SHS) generated during cannabis use. Given the serious health effects caused by tobacco SHS, there is a need to assess the potential health effects of exposure to cannabis SHS. As a step toward this, we measured the concentrations of cannabinoids, nicotine and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in air samples collected in public places where cannabis was being consumed. These were compared with concentrations in exhaled aerosols from cannabis smoking and vaping, and in tobacco SHS. Tetrahydrocannabinol concentrations were 22 to 255 µg/m 3 in field samples, below the threshold for psychoactive effects. Nicotine concentrations in field samples did not exceed 1 µg/m 3 . The total PAH concentrations in field samples were from 3.2 to 80.5 ng/m 3 , depending on location type. By contrast, PAH levels averaged 72 ng/m 3 in tobacco SHS and 220 ng/m 3 in the more concentrated, exhaled cannabis aerosols. A total of 22 different PAHs were identified in field samples of cannabis aerosols, from which benz[a]anthracene (B[a]A) was present in the highest concentrations. The PAH profile of cannabis aerosols was different from that of tobacco SHS. A preliminary cancer risk evaluation showed that the dose associated with inhalation of cannabis SHS during an 8-h work shift exceeded the California No Significant Risk Level for B[a]A at all venues where cannabis was consumed primarily via smoking. In summary, the consumption of cannabis, by smoking and by vaporizing, can create aerosols that contain carcinogenic PAHs. Thus breathing secondhand cannabis aerosols increases exposure to carcinogens.

International Space Station Potable Water Characterization for 2013

In this post-construction, operational phase of International Space Station (ISS) with an ever-increasing emphasis on its use as a test-bed for future exploration missions, the ISS crews continue to rely on water reclamation systems for the majority of their water needs. The onboard water supplies include U.S. Segment potable water from humidity condensate and urine, Russian Segment potable water from condensate, and ground-supplied potable water, as reserve. In 2013, the cargo returned on the Soyuz 32-35 flights included archival potable water samples collected from Expeditions 34-37. The former Water and Food Analytical Laboratory (now Toxicology and Evironmental Chemistry Laboratory) at the NASA Johnson Space Center continued its long-standing role of performing chemical analyses on ISS return water samples to verify compliance with potable water quality specifications. This paper presents and discusses the analytical results for potable water samples returned from Expeditions 34-37, including a comparison to ISS quality standards. During the summer of 2013, the U.S. Segment potable water experienced a third temporary rise and fall in total organic carbon (TOC) content, as the result of organic contamination breaking through the water system's treatment process. Analytical results for the Expedition 36 archival samples returned on Soyuz 34 confirmed that dimethylsilanediol was once again the responsible contaminant, just as it was for the previous comparable TOC rises in 2010 and 2012. Discussion herein includes the use of the in-flight total organic carbon analyzer (TOCA) as a key monitoring tool for tracking these TOC rises and scheduling appropriate remediation.

Iterating on a Design – Further Developments in the Evolution of the Ballistic Limit Equations for the Mars Sample Return Project

The goal of the Mars Sample Return–Capture, Containment, and Return System Project is to retrieve samples launched from the Martian surface and return them to Earth for detailed analysis. An important part of this project is the design of the system’s micrometeoroid protection system, which protects the Earth Entry System and the collected samples during their journey back to Earth. As mission parameters and the micrometeoroid and orbital debris threat became better understood, the design of the micrometeoroid protection system evolved. A key element used in the shield development process is the ballistic limit equation, which is an equation that is used to determine whether or not a particular structural element or system will end up in a failed state as a result of a specified impact. As the design of the Earth Entry System and the micrometeoroid protection system evolved, a new set of ballistic limit equations was needed to better predict and assess the performance of developing shield system designs in anticipation of possible damage from micrometeoroid and orbital debris particle impacts. This paper provides a summary of how a set of initial BLEs were either extended or modified so that the resulting equations were better suited to new types of target configurations being considered, as well as how additional ballistic limit equations were developed where none previously existed.

Trace gases in the Antarctic Atmosphere

Whole-air samples collected aboard the NASA ER-2 and DC-8 aircraft as part of the Airborne Antarctic Ozone Experiment were analyzed in a field laboratory set up at Punta Arenas, Chile. Mixing ratios obtained from gas chromatographic analyses of these samples are presented for CH4, CO, N2O, CFCl3, CF2Cl2, C2F3Cl3, CH3CCl3, and CCl4. A comparison of CFCl3/N2O mixing ratios from the flights of September 16-29, 1987 provides evidence of sustained subsidence.

NASA's Rodent Research Project: Validation of Flight Hardware, Operations and Science Capabilities for Conducting Long Duration Experiments in Space

Research using rodents is an essential tool for advancing biomedical research on Earth and in space. Rodent Research (RR)-1 was conducted to validate flight hardware, operations, and science capabilities that were developed at the NASA Ames Research Center. Twenty C57BL/6J adult female mice were launched on Sept 21, 2014 in a Dragon Capsule (SpaceX-4), then transferred to the ISS for a total time of 21-22 days (10 commercial mice) or 37 (10 validation mice). Tissues collected on-orbit were either rapidly frozen or preserved in RNA later at less than or equal to -80 C (n=2/group) until their return to Earth. Remaining carcasses were rapidly frozen for dissection post-flight. The three controls groups at Kennedy Space Center consisted of: Basal mice euthanized at the time of launch, Vivarium controls, housed in standard cages, and Ground Controls (GC), housed in flight hardware within an environmental chamber. FLT mice appeared more physically active on-orbit than GC, and behavior analysis are in progress. Upon return to Earth, there were no differences in body weights between FLT and GC at the end of the 37 days in space. RNA was of high quality (RIN greater than 8.5). Liver enzyme activity levels of FLT mice and all control mice were similar in magnitude to those of the samples that were optimally processed in the laboratory. Liver samples collected from the intact frozen FLT carcasses had RNA RIN of 7.27 +/- 0.52, which was lower than that of the samples processed on-orbit, but similar to those obtained from the control group intact carcasses. Nonetheless, the RNA samples from the intact carcasses were acceptable for the most demanding transcriptomic analyses. Adrenal glands, thymus and spleen (organs associated with stress response) showed no significant difference in weights between FLT and GC. Enzymatic activity was also not significantly different. Over 3,000 tissues collected from the four groups of mice have become available for the Biospecimen Sharing Program. Together, these validation flight findings demonstrate the capability to support long-duration RR on the ISS to achieve both basic science and biomedical objectives.

Continued Environmental Microbiology Monitoring of The International Space Station (ISS) Veggie Unit Used for In-Flight, Crop-Based Food Systems

The International Space Station is a closed environment where rotating sets of Crewmembers live and work. This environment is monitored to ensure occupants’ health and safety during their spaceflight residency by routine Environmental Health System (EHS) collection of microbial samples including air, surface, and water. The microbial samples are collected, enumerated, and analyzed quarterly to monitor on-board system contamination and potential risks to crew health. Quarterly monitoring of the microorganisms in the ISS environment supports crew safety and contributes to a large set of microbial concentration and diversity data. The current in-inflight microbial requirements were developed using this historical data collected by the routine environmental monitoring. These in-flight microbial requirements have been established to maintain the health and safety of the spacecraft environment. This study leverages quarterly operational EHS sampling by collecting additional microbial samples from the surface of the Veggie plant production system on ISS. These samples will yield microbial concentration and diversity that can be compared and analyzed with nominal surface samples from the vehicle. The data collected in this study will aid in the development of requirements for spaceflight-based food production systems. Continued surface sampling of the internal and external surfaces of the Veggie system, along with collaboration from both Johnson Space Center (JSC) & Kennedy Space Center (KSC) scientists studying the microbiome of the veggie-crop systems, will be implemented as part of the future development of crop-based food system requirements for the ISS and beyond.

A Miniature Mineralogical Instrument for In-Situ Characterization of Ices and Hydrous Minerals at the Lunar Poles

Lunar missions over the past few years have provided new evidence that water may be present at the lunar poles in the form of cold-trapped ice deposits, thereby rekindling interest in sampling the polar regions. Robotic landers fitted with mineralogical instrumentation for in-situ analyses could provide unequivocal answers on the presence of crystalline water ice and/or hydrous minerals at the lunar poles. Data from Lunar Prospector suggest that any surface exploration of the lunar poles should include the capability to drill to depths of more than 40 cm. Limited data on the lunar geotherm indicate temperatures of approximately 245-255 K at regolith depths of 40 cm, within a range where water may exist in the liquid state as brine. A relevant terrestrial analog occurs in Antarctica, where the zeolite mineral chabazite has been found at the boundary between ice-free and ice-cemented regolith horizons, and precipitation from a regolith brine is indicated. Soluble halogens and sulfur in the lunar regolith could provide comparable brine chemistry in an analogous setting. Regolith samples collected by a drilling device could be readily analyzed by CheMin, a mineralogical instrument that combines X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) techniques to simultaneously characterize the chemical and mineralogical compositions of granular or powdered samples. CheMin can unambiguously determine not only the presence of hydrous alteration phases such as clays or zeolites, but it can also identify the structural variants or types of clay or zeolite present (e.g., well-ordered versus poorly ordered smectite; chabazite versus phillipsite). In addition, CheMin can readily measure the abundances of key elements that may occur in lunar minerals (Na, Mg, Al, Si, K, Ca, Fe) as well as the likely constituents of lunar brines (F, Cl, S). Finally, if coring and analysis are done during the lunar night or in permanent shadow, CheMin can provide information on the chemistry and structure of any crystalline ices that might occur in the regolith samples.

Mars Small Spacecraft Studies: Overview

NASA’s Mars Exploration Program is studying a potential Mars Sample Return (MSR) campaign consisting of a series of missions over the next decade that would return samples collected at Mars for analyses in terrestrial laboratories. It is anticipated that during such a campaign, many in the Mars science community would seek to continue high-priority science investigations in parallel to those provided by geological and astrobiological sample return investigations. To respond to this anticipated desire of the science community, JPL is performing a study of small spacecraft mission concepts to Mars that could bridge the gap between MSR and other desired science investigations at Mars. The goal of the study is to utilize smaller, affordable missions in performing highpriority science investigations as defined in the National Academy of Sciences Decadal Survey, Mars Exploration Program Analysis Group (MEPAG) goals, and Human Exploration and Operations (HEO) Strategic Knowledge Gaps. The study targets the use of small spacecraft with greater science capability than currently achievable with CubeSats. The target spacecraft wet mass is approximately 100 to 350 kilograms. Methods of access to Mars considered in this study include a self-propelled transit from Earth geosynchronous transfer orbit (GTO) to Mars as a secondary payload in a rideshare configuration. The study investigates mission concepts, science objectives, mission designs, concept of operations, enhancing technologies, and mission costs, along with launch vehicle interfaces. The cost estimates of the mission concepts studied range from below $100 million to less than $300 million for development through launch. This paper concludes with an outline of several examples of small spacecraft mission concepts to Mars that demonstrate significant scientific capability, are technically feasible, and fit within the desired cost range.

Transcriptomic Analysis of ISS Crewmembers’ Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells Reveals Homeostatic Regulations in Space

The impact of spaceflight on the immune system has been investigated for decades. Studies conducted in cell models, animals and humans suggest that the spaceflight environment affects the innate and acquired immune systems, as the ability to recognize antigens, defend against foreign invaders, and orchestrate repair is significantly hindered. However, the molecular mechanisms behind spaceflight-induced immune dysregulations are still unclear. In this study, blood from eleven (11) International Space Station (ISS) crewmembers was collected before, during and after long duration space missions, as well as from 11 matched ground control subjects. Transcriptomic analysis was performed in isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) using the RNA-sequencing technique. In comparison to the blood samples collected from the crewmembers pre-flight, a total of ~1000 genes were found to be upregulated and ~1000 genes downregulated in PBMC collected between 4 and 6 months after they were in space. The most significantly DEGs (differentially expressed genes) include activation of RUBCNL which is an autophagy enhancer and inhibition of GRASP which regulates cell trafficking. Genes involved in cell adhesion, cell cycle progression and other functions were also dysregulated. Pathway analysis of the DEGs indicates mitochondria dysfunction, particularly reduced ATP production in the electron transport chain. Other pathways impacted by spaceflight include glycolysis, autophagy and inflammatory response. Our results suggest that, in space, blood cells may have also experienced energy depletion and reduced metabolism. Consequently, the cells may become autophagic, which is a known homeostatic mechanism for blood cells to become quiescent, but to stay alive. Further analysis of the data shows recovery of the crewmembers after mission and potential differential responses between genders to the space environment. Our data potentially explains some of the physiological changes that have been observed in space such as mitochondria dysfunction, inhibition of T cell activation and telomere lengthening. Comparison of our results with other transcriptomics studies of ISS crewmembers’ blood cells will also be presented.

Surface-Correlated Nanophase Iron Metal in Lunar Soils: Petrography and Space Weathering Effects

Space weathering is a term used to include all of the processes that act on material exposed at the surface of a planetary or small body. In the case of the Moon, it includes a variety of processes that formed the lunar regolith, caused the maturation of lunar soils, and formed patina on rock surfaces. The processes include micrometeorite impact and reworking, implantation of solar wind and flare particles, radiation damage and chemical effects from solar particles and cosmic rays, interactions with the lunar atmosphere, and sputtering erosion and deposition. Space weathering effects collectively result in a reddened continuum slope, lowered albedo, and attenuated absorption features in reflectance spectra of lunar soils as compared to finely comminuted rocks from the same Apollo sites. Understanding these effects is critical in order to fully integrate the lunar sample collection with remotely sensed data from recent robotic missions (e.g., Lunar Prospector, Clementine, Galileo). Our objective is to determine the origin of space weathering effects in lunar soils through combined electron microscopy and microspectrophotometry techniques applied to individual soil particles from <20 pm size factions (dry-sieved) of mature lunar soils. It has been demonstrated that it is the finest size fraction (<25 pm) of lunar soils that dominates the optical properties of the bulk soils.

A study of stratospheric aerosol maturity

A sampling and analysis technique that uses the binomial distribution to characterize stratospheric aerosol populations at the 95% level of confidence is described. Particle samples obtained over Alaska during July 15-19, 1979, are used; the results show the presence of more small particles at lower altitude than at high altitudes. Calculations of the surface area and volume distributions for all aerosol samples collected are given. Evidence from these data suggests either that Aitken nuclei are injected or diffused across the tropopause and rise into the stratosphere, where they mature into larger particles, or nuclei form in the lower stratosphere and become mature aerosols at high altitude. Samples obtained at another site give the same results, supporting the view that the process of injection or nucleation and maturing of aerosols with altitude may be global and need not occur only in locations exhibiting unique meteorologic features.

Characterization of potential sources of magnetic anomalies within the crust in a tectonically active region: Amphibolites and migmatites from Potrillo Maar, New Mexico

The purpose was to characterize the oxide mineralogy and petrology of samples collected from Potrillo Maar, New Mexico with the goal of explaining the magnetic anamoly that is observed over this region from remote sensing. Potrillo Maar is a diatreme that has brought rocks from all depths in the crust to the surface almost instantaneously. The samples are therefore thought to be representative of the crust as it exists today below this portion of the Rio Grande Rift. It is generally believed that oxide minerals (magnetite, hematite, etc.) are responsible for the magnetic signature of the crust. The samples from Portillo Maar therefore offer a unique opportunity to examine the magnetic mineralogy of the entire crust. The results indicate that the magnetic anamoly observed over Rio Grande Rift may be consequence of the tectonic activity that caused mylonitization of the rocks and allowed the infiltration of oxidizing fluids.

Speculations on the igneous history of Mars: Inferences from the SNC meteorites

In general, attempts to delineate an a priori sampling strategy for missions to terrestrial planets must be simple. In the case of the Moon, for example, the simplest and most obvious plan that to sample both the highly-cratered, high-albedo highlands and less-cratered, low-albedo mare--has proven very useful. However in the case of Mars, multiple missions and/or roving samplers may prove expensive or infeasible. Thus, we may be limited to collecting samples from a single site, and, consequently, consideration of sampling strategies for a Mars mission is more critical than for the more-accessible Moon.

A tenfold increase in the abundance of large solid particles in the stratosphere, as measured over the period 1976-1984

Representative chemical, structural, and morphological analyses of the large (greater than 1 micron diameter) solid particles from three impaction collection surfaces have been performed. These collections sampled the stratosphere at approximately 17-19 km in altitude during 1976, 1981, and 1984. For these sampling periods, the stratospheric solid-particle number densities have been determined to be 0.089, 0.16, and 1.7 particles/cu m of air, respectively, for particles of greater than 1 micron diameter. This rise in solid-particle number density for the stratosphere over the collection period is likely due to the influx of solid rocket exhaust and rocket and satellite debris into the atmosphere in increasingly larger amounts with time. Some of this material is shed from spacecraft during ascent through the atmosphere, but the majority is probably provided during the descent of material from earth's growing belt of debris in low-earth orbit.

Host population dynamics influence Leptospira spp. transmission patterns among Rattus norvegicus in Boston, Massachusetts, US

Leptospirosis (caused by pathogenic bacteria in the genus Leptospira ) is prevalent worldwide but more common in tropical and subtropical regions. Transmission can occur following direct exposure to infected urine from reservoir hosts, or a urine-contaminated environment, which then can serve as an infection source for additional rats and other mammals, including humans. The brown rat, Rattus norvegicus , is an important reservoir of Leptospira spp. in urban settings. We investigated the presence of Leptospira spp. among brown rats in Boston, Massachusetts and hypothesized that rat population dynamics in this urban setting influence the transportation, persistence, and diversity of Leptospira spp. We analyzed DNA from 328 rat kidney samples collected from 17 sites in Boston over a seven-year period (2016–2022); 59 rats representing 12 of 17 sites were positive for Leptospira spp. We used 21 neutral microsatellite loci to genotype 311 rats and utilized the resulting data to investigate genetic connectivity among sampling sites. We generated whole genome sequences for 28 Leptospira spp. isolates obtained from frozen and fresh tissue from some of the 59 positive rat kidneys. When isolates were not obtained, we attempted genomic DNA capture and enrichment, which yielded 14 additional Leptospira spp. genomes from rats. We also generated an enriched Leptospira spp. genome from a 2018 human case in Boston. We found evidence of high genetic structure among rat populations that is likely influenced by major roads and/or other dispersal barriers, resulting in distinct rat population groups within the city; at certain sites these groups persisted for multiple years. We identified multiple distinct phylogenetic clades of L. interrogans among rats that were tightly linked to distinct rat populations. This pattern suggests L. interrogans persists in local rat populations and its transportation is influenced by rat population dynamics. Finally, our genomic analyses of the Leptospira spp. detected in the 2018 human leptospirosis case in Boston suggests a link to rats as the source. These findings will be useful for guiding rat control and human leptospirosis mitigation efforts in this and other similar urban settings.
