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…
Assessment of the probability of microbial contamination for sample return from Martian moons I: Departure of microbes from Martian surface
Kazuhisa Fujita, Kosuke Kurosawa, Hidenori Genda +5
Potential microbial contamination of Martian moons, Phobos and Deimos, which can be brought about by transportation of Mars ejecta produced by meteoroid impacts on the Martian surf…
Life-Detection Technologies for the Next Two Decades
Chaitanya Giri, Tony Z. Jia, H. James Cleaves +20
Since its inception six decades ago, astrobiology has diversified immensely to encompass several scientific questions including the origin and evolution of Terran life, the organic…
Ultralow-density double-layer silica aerogel fabrication for the intact capture of cosmic dust in low-Earth orbits
Makoto Tabata, Hideyuki Kawai, Hajime Yano +4
The fabrication of an ultralow-density hydrophobic silica aerogel for the intact capture cosmic dust during the Tanpopo mission is described. The Tanpopo experiment performed on th…
Silica aerogel for capturing intact interplanetary dust particles for the Tanpopo experiment
Makoto Tabata, Hajime Yano, Hideyuki Kawai +4
In this paper, we report the progress in developing a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust capture panel for use in the Tanpopo experiment on the International Space Station (ISS). Pre…
Design of a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust collector for the Tanpopo mission aboard the International Space Station
Makoto Tabata, Eiichi Imai, Hajime Yano +10
We are developing a silica-aerogel-based cosmic dust collector for use in the Tanpopo experiment to be conducted on the International Space Station. The mass production of simple t…
In situ ore formation experiment: Amino acids and amino sugars trapped in artificial chimneys on deep-sea hydrothermal systems at Suiyo Seamount, Izu-Bonin Arc, Pacific Ocean
Takano, Y., Marumo +12
The present study reports on the bio-organic composition of a deep-sea venting hydrothermal system originating from arc volcanism; the origin of the particulates in hydrothermal fl…
Tanpopo cosmic dust collector: Silica aerogel production and bacterial DNA contamination analysis
Makoto Tabata, Yuko Kawaguchi, Shin-ichi Yokobori +4
Hydrophobic silica aerogels with ultra-low densities have been designed and developed as cosmic dust capture media for the Tanpopo mission which is proposed to be carried out on th…
