MARSES Project Information . MARSES is an integrated research experiment devoted to searching for water, water-ice or permafrost layers believed to exist at some depth under the visible surface of Mars. ... Secondary tasks are the measurement of the soil properties of the subsurface of Mars which include porosity, electrical resistance of the liquid phase, thermal conductivity, temperature dependence. ... Jean?s escape of water via the atmosphere is very slow (of the order of 3 m over 5 Gy). ...
... Magnetospheric boundary layer is a region close to the magnetopause in which magnetosheath plasma has strong influence. ... A new boundary called the free-flow boundary has been suggested to exists between the exterior cusp and the magnetosheath (this is the boundary that is often plotted as a dashed line in schematic figures of the magnetosphere). Boundary layer is a very special region, not only because of the presence of magnetosheath plasma, but also because of the still uncertain topology. ...
Titan . ... Hubble Space Telescope Images of Titan's surface . ... Later that year, it will release the European-built Huygens probe for a descent through Titan's atmosphere. ... This artist's rendering shows the European Space Agency's Huygens probe descending into the atmosphere of Saturn's moon Titan after being released by NASA's Cassini spacecraft. ...
