With deep sorrow, we bid farewell to our esteemed colleague, Professor Sanz Requena, who has recently passed away. He was an exceptional scientist and a skilled communicator, dedicated to the dissemination of science and education. Professor Sanz was a valued member of our Research Group and a respected faculty member at the University of Valladolid. […]
La Muestra de Calibración de SuperCam, (SCCT) está por fin en la superficie de Marte y ya contamos con una de las primeras imágenes donde apreciar si está bien. La imagen se corresponde con una de las primeras imágenes del instrumento MastCamZ, y en ella se pueden ve las muestras de calibración de MastCamZ y
Condensados en este video NASA nos muestra cómo se desarrolló el amartizaje de Perseverance. Si bien este sistema ya había sido empleado por Curiosity ha sido con Perseverance que se han podido obtener imágenes y videos del funcionamiento del SkyCrane:
Falta ya una semana para que el rover Perseverance de la NASA aterrice en Marte. El rover Perseverance y el helicóptero Ingenuity forman parte de la misión Mars2020, la misi´pn más ambiciosa de NASA para la búsqueda de señales de vida presente o pasada en Marte. Esta misión tiene tres objetivos fundamentales: Astrobiología: evaluar la
SuperCam is a highly integrated remote-sensing instrumental suite for NASA’s Mars 2020 mission. It consists of a co-aligned combination of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS), Time-Resolved Raman and Luminescence (TRR/L), Visible and Infrared Spectroscopy (VISIR), together with sound recording (MIC) and high-magnification imaging techniques (RMI). They provide information on the mineralogy, geochemistry andmineral context around the

Aurelio Sanz‐Arranz, Jose A. Manrique‐Martinez, Jesus Medina‐Garcia, Fernando Rull‐Perez In this paper, our research group proposes a simple solution to a usual problem that appears in the Raman analysis of some substances, which is the presence of weak Raman signals, probably in combination with a high‐intensity luminescence background, affected by the presence of distortions in

Our team principal, Fernando Rull, participated in the latest TEDx event celebrated in Valladolid, at LAVA conference room. In this chat Fernando reviews how Raman Laser Spectroscopy has contributed to increase our knowledge about cultural heritage and will contribute in the future planetary missions of ESA and NASA to Mars.
