Martian Analog (JSC Mars-1 M)

Origin

The JSC Mars-1 sample consists of weathered volcanic ash from the Pu'u Nene cinder cone on the Island of Hawaii (USA). 

Main constituent
Palagonite
Particle size Mie: reff (μm)
2.7
Particle size Mie: veff
0.28
Particle size

The sample was processed at the Instituto de Cerámica y Vidrio (CSIC-ICV) to produce a narrow particle size distribution centered at 3-4 micrometers.
