Pancam and microscopic imager observations of dust on the Spirit Rovers: cleaning events, spectral properties, and aggregates
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
This work describes dust deposits on the Spirit Rover over 2000 sols through examination of Pancam and Microscopic Imager observations of specific locations on the rover body, including portions of the solar array, Pancam and Mini-TES calibration targets, and the magnets. This data set reveals the three "cleaning events" experienced by Spirit to date, the spectral properties of dust, and the tendency of dust particles to form aggregates 100 um and larger
