MSL MARS CHEMISTRY AND MINERALOGY 4 RDR V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: October 15, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

The CheMin instrument determines the mineralogy and elemental composition of powdered samples through the combined application of X-ray diffraction (XRD, producing mineral identification and quantification) and X-ray fluorescence (chemical analysis based on Energy Dispersive Histograms, EDH). This CheMin RDR data set contains tables of energy and X-ray diffraction data derived from raw CheMin observations.
