Ryuki Hyodo, Kosuke Kurosawa, Hidenori Genda +2
Throughout the history of the solar system, Mars has experienced continuous asteroidal impacts. These impacts have produced impact-generated Mars ejecta, and a fraction of this deb…
Assessment of the probability of microbial contamination for sample return from Martian moons II: The fate of microbes on Martian moons
Kosuke Kurosawa, Hidenori Genda, Ryuki Hyodo +5
This paper presents a case study of microbe transportation in the Mars-satellites system. We examined the spatial distribution of potential impact-transported microbes on the Marti…
