Title: ChemCam on Mars
Url: https://www.msl-chemcam.com
Publisher: ChemCam
Description: In the past several years, news outlets have come alive with more and more information about the past and present of Mars. The source of much of that fascinating data has been the ChemCam instrument, a suite of remote sensing instruments that have been sending back daily samples from the surface of the Red Planet using two instruments, a laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and a remote micro imager (RMI) telescope. An excellent resource for teachers and anyone else fascinated by the geology, soil composition, and the possibilities for life on Mars, this site will provide hours of edification. Readers will find various articles published over the past several years, such as an article from September 2015 that confirmed the presence of ancient lakes. In addition, various tabs offer tremendous information about the Curiosity Rover, the ChemCam, and Mars itself, including the Multimedia tab with its videos and images, and the Education tab, where teachers will find plenty of resources to supplement their lesson plans.
