The Global Search for Liquid Water on Mars from Orbit: Current and Future Perspectives by Roberto Orosei, Chunyu Ding, Wenzhe Fa, Antonios Giannopoulos, Alain Hérique, Wlodek Kofman, Sebastian E. Lauro, Chunlai Li, Elena Pettinelli, Yan Su, Shuguo Xing, Yi Xu

“…MARSIS observations over the Martian polar caps have been limited by the need to downlink data before on-board processing, but their number will increase in coming years. The Chinese mission to Mars that is to be launched in 2020, Tianwen-1, will carry a subsurface sounding radar operating at frequencies that are close to those of MARSIS, and the expected signal-to-noise ratio of subsurface detection will likely be sufficient for identifying anomalously bright subsurface reflectors. …”

Multipoint Detection of GRB221009A’s Propagation through the Heliosphere by Andrii Voshchepynets, Oleksiy V. Agapitov, Lynn Wilson III, Vassilis Angelopoulos, Samer T. Alnussirat, Michael Balikhin, Myroslava Hlebena, Ihor Korol, Davin Larson, David Mitchell, Christopher Owen, Ali Rahmati

“…To follow the GRB221009A propagation through the heliosphere, we used the electron and proton flux measurements from solar missions Solar Orbiter and STEREO-A; Earth’s magnetosphere and solar wind missions THEMIS and Wind; meteorological satellites POES15, POES19, and MetOp3; and MAVEN—a NASA mission orbiting Mars. GRB221009A had a structure of four bursts: the less intense Pulse 1—the triggering impulse—was detected by gamma-ray observatories at T _0 = 13:16:59 UT (near the Earth); the most intense Pulses 2 and 3 were detected on board all the spacecraft from the list; and Pulse 4 was detected in more than 500 s after Pulse 1. …”
