Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by Robert Pearlman: [B]Members of the Johnson Space Center science team who will help validate measurements made from instruments aboard the Phoenix Mars Lander met with the media on June 9. On the instrument deck of Phoenix are miniature ovens, a mass spectrometer, an atomic force microscope and a "chemistry lab in a box" to analyze the samples. Equipment at JSC will be used to provide 'ground truth' for measurements made by the Phoenix Thermal Evolved Gas Analyzer (TEGA) on Mars. <img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/phoenix_jsctegalab01.jpg" WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="322"></center> <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Research scientist Brad Sutter demonstrates the mass spectrometer used at JSC to simulate the lower pressure on Mars while identifying the chemical composition of sample minerals.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/phoenix_jsctegalab02.jpg" WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="322"></center> <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]A partial replica of the mass spectrometer on Phoenix.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> <center><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/phoenix_jsctegalab03.jpg" WIDTH="480" HEIGHT="322"></center> <BLOCKQUOTE>[i]Part of the lab's "library" of mineral specimens, from which they can test to match samples collected on Mars.
