To make significant progress toward our understanding of the climate evolution and habitability of Mars, using the in situ SAM data, in particular, and related remote sensing data from relevant ground-based telescopes and spacecraft, in general
Summary
NASA's Science Mission Directorate (NSSC) seeks to advance understanding of Mars' climate evolution and habitability by analyzing in situ Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) data together with remote sensing observations from telescopes and spacecraft. The effort will be performed by the Regents of the University of Michigan under a sole‑source contract, with work conducted at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
