Abstract: International audience; The sounds of the Ingenuity Helicopter flying in the Martian atmosphere are among the most notable recordings of the microphone on the SuperCam instrument on the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover. Distinct acoustic signatures of the helicopter were recorded on the 4th, 5th, 6th , and 8th flights: prior to this, simultaneous microphone and helicopter operations had not been verified in the testbed, and generally since these early flights the helicopter has been too far away for its emissions to be detectable given CO 2 absorption in the Mars atmosphere. The detected signatures are around 84 Hz and (occasionally) at 168 Hz, at the blade crossing frequency and its first harmonic. Several higher harmonics were prominent in hover tests in short-range recordings in a test chamber on Earth; these are attenuated by CO 2 absorption at the 50m-plus ranges on Mars. Doppler shift of the 84 Hz signal can be measured and is consistent with the trajectory measured with Ingenuity's navigation camera and inertial navigation unit, and documented by Perseverance's cameras. A striking feature of the sound recordings is an unanticipated deep modulation of the signals with nulls spaced by around 15-20s, superposed on the simple and expected decline in amplitude with distance. We have evaluated and rejected models of multipath sound interference as requiring implausibly strong near-surface temperature gradients. We find instead that the modulation appears to be the signature of a slight asynchrony between the rotation rates of the two coaxial rotors, such that the blade-crossing azimuth rotates slowly during flight, resulting in a 'lighthouse' sweeping of the radiated sound pattern. Analysis of blade orientations seen in the shadow of the helicopter observed in down-looking navigation images supports this model.

Abstract: International audience; Since the end of April 2022, the Perseverance rover has embarked on the Delta Campaignwith the objective to explore the sedimentary delta of Jezero Crater and characterize its stratigraphyand mineral composition. Among the instruments aboard the Rover, SuperCam [1, 2] plays a keyrole in this study thanks to its remote measurement capabilities (spectroscopy and imaging), in particularthe near-infrared reflectance spectroscopy performed by the IRS instrument [3]. This instrument analyzeslight reflected from rocks and soils in the 1.3 – 2.6 μm spectral range and in a field of view of 1.15 mrad,corresponding to an area of about 3.5 mm at 3 m distance. The IRS is thus sensitive to the spectral signaturesof primary and aqueous alteration minerals, enabling the analysis of the compositional diversity of rocks and thus to the study of their formation conditions. Here we summarize a modeling approach of the IRS data to examine diagnostic absorption features.

Abstract: International audience; Jezero crater once hosted an open lake system ~3.8 Ga when water is considered to have been abundant on the surface of Mars [1]. A sedimentary delta deposit formed at the western rim of the crater and remains well-preserved on the surface today [1,2]. Studying the stratigraphy of the Jezero delta can be used to better constrain the fluvial and climate history of early Mars [e.g., 2,3].Here we present analysis of the Enchanted Lake outcrop, which is located on the eroded southern margin of the delta deposit (Fig. 1). This outcrop was the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover’s first direct encounter with sedimentary rocks at the base of the delta deposit. Data of this outcrop were first collected from sols ~420-426 of the Perseverance mission. The rover then traversed to the northeast to explore the Hawksbill Gap area before returning to Enchanted Lake for sols ~565-600. This study identifies and characterizes the facies within the Enchanted Lake sedimentary succession, and interprets the paleoenvironment of the outcrop in context with the larger deltaic system.

Abstract: International audience; In April 2022, the Mars 2020 Perseverance rover arrived at the base of the ancient delta in Jezero crater after completing the first year of its mission exploring and sampling aqueously altered igneous rocks of the present-day crater floor [1]. Perseverance then spent ~200 sols exploring the lower ~25 m of rock exposed within the eastern scarp of the Jezero delta [2], a sedimentary sequence informally named the ‘Shenandoah’ formation. This studydescribes the sedimentology and stratigraphy of the Shenandoah formation explored by Perseverance at two sections—'Cape Nukshak’ and ‘Hawksbill Gap’— including a description, interpretation, and depositional framework for the facies that comprise it.

Abstract: International audience; The Perseverance rover landed in Jezero crater on February 18, 2021, with the mission goals to explore the geology, astrobiological potential, and modern environment of the crater floor and delta, and to collect and cache well-documented samples for Mars Sample Return. After completion of the “Crater Floor” science campaign [1], the rover conducted a rapid traverse (sols 379-414) to the Three Forks region of the crater floor adjacent to the delta front. From here, Perseverance’s second “Delta Front” science campaign (DFC) began on Sol 415, April 20, 2022. The DFC has explored two lobes of the delta front, the neighboring crater floor, and their contact zone, focusing on the lowest geologic exposures composing the Jezero delta (largely mapped within the delta “thin layered unit” [2]). As of January 1, 2023, Perseverance has covered 14325 km of traverse distance and collected 15 rock sample cores, 2 regolith samples, 1 atmospheric sample, and 3 witness tubes, employing a sample pair strategy where each unique sample is paired with a companion sample core from the same location, to enable the construction of two different caches [3]. After sample depot construction at Three Forks, the DFC will conclude upon re-ascent of the delta front, and the next “Delta Top” science campaign will start.

Abstract: International audience; The Perseverance rover landed in the ancient lakebed of Jezero crater, Mars on February 2021. Here we assess the mineralogy of the rocks, regolith, and dust measured during the first year of the mission on the crater floor, using the visible and near-infrared spectrometer of SuperCam onboard the Perseverance rover. Most of the minerals detected from orbit are present in the bedrock, with olivine-bearing rocks at the bottom of the stratigraphy and high-Ca pyroxene-bearing rocks at the top. This is distinct from the overall low-Ca pyroxene-bearing composition of the watershed of Jezero, and points towards an igneous origin. Alteration mineral phases were detected in most of the rocks analyzed in low proportions, suggesting that aqueous alteration of the crater floor has been spatially widespread, but limited in intensity and/or time. The diverse aqueous mineralogy suggests that the aqueous alteration history of the crater floor consists of at least two stages, to form phyllosilicates and oxyhydroxides, and later sulfates. We interpret their formation in a lake or under deeper serpentinization conditions, and in an evaporative environment, respectively. Spectral similarities of dust with some rock coatings suggest widespread past processes of dust induration under liquid water activity late in the history of Jezero. Analysis of the regolith revealed some local inputs from the surrounding rocks. Relevant to the Mars Sample Return mission, the spectral features exhibited by the rocks sampled on the crater floor are representative of the diversity of spectra measured on the geological units investigated by the rover.

Abstract: International audience; Séítah is the stratigraphically lowest formation visited by Perseverance in the Jezero crater floor. We present the data obtained by SuperCam: texture by imagery, chemistry by LIBS, and mineralogy by VISIR and Raman spectroscopy. The Séítah formation consists of igneous, weakly altered, rocks dominated by millimeter-size grains of olivine with the presence of low-Ca and high-Ca pyroxenes, and other primary minerals (e.g., plagioclase, Cr-Fe-Ti oxides, phosphates). Along a ∼140 m long section in Séítah, SuperCam analyses showed evidence of geochemical and mineralogical variations, from the contact with the overlying Máaz formation, going deeper in the formation. Bulk rock and olivine Mg#, grain size, olivine content increase gradually further from the contact. Along the section, olivine Mg# are not in equilibrium with the bulk rock Mg#, indicating local olivine accumulation. These observations are consistent with Séítah being the deep ultramafic member of a cumulate series derived from the fractional crystallization and slow cooling of the parent magma at depth. Possible magmatic processes and exhumation mechanisms of Séítah are discussed. Séítah rocks show some affinity with some rocks at Gusev crater, and with some martian meteorites suggesting that such rocks are not rare on the surface of Mars. Séítah is part of the Nili Fossae regional olivine-carbonate unit observed from orbit. Future exploration of Perseverance on the rim and outside of the crater will help determine if the observations from the crater floor can be extrapolated to the whole unit, or if this unit is composed of distinct sub-units with various origins.

Abstract: International audience; The $Perseverance$ rover, Mars 2020 mission, landed on the surface of the Jezero Crater, on February, 18th 2021. This Martian crater is suspected to have hosted a paleolake as evidenced by the numerous detections of aqueously-altered phases and thus is a promising candidate for the search for past Martian life. The SuperCam instrument, a collaboration by a consortium of American and European laboratories, plays a leading role in this investigation thanks to its highly versatile payload providing rapid, synergistic, fine-scale mineralogy, chemistry, and color imaging. After its landing, the first measurements of Martian targets with the infrared spectrometer of SuperCam (IRS) showed new instrumental behaviors that had to be characterized and calibrated to derive unbiased science data. The IRS radiometric response has thus been calibrated using periodic observations of the Aluwhite SuperCam Calibration Target (SCCT). Parasitic effects were understood and mitigated, and the instrumental dark and noise are characterized and modeled. The reflectance calibrated data products, provided periodically on the NASA Planetary Data System, are corrected for the main instrumental features. This radiometric calibration allowed us to study the 2.5 μm absorption band which has been discovered in the Séítah unit and is associated with phyllosilicates-carbonates mixtures.

Abstract: International audience; The Perseverance rover (Mars 2020 mission, NASA) is exploring the mineral diversity of the paleolake within Jezero crater and is searching for potential biosignatures and past habitability. Amongst its science payload, the SuperCam instrument plays a central role in the Mars habitability investigation by providing rapid, synergistic, fine-scale mineralogy, chemistry, and color imaging [1, 2]. In particular, it carries the first near-infrared spectrometer, IRS, to be operated on the Martian surface. IRS is a miniaturized point spectrometer (1.15 mrad field of view) located in the SuperCam’s mast unit. Its spectral range (1.3 – 2.6 µm range) covers major silicate, salts and hydrated mineral absorption features [3].Mineral identifications are performed by analyzing the position and shape of diagnostic absorption bands. The recent results on the instrument’s radiometric calibration [4] enabled the identification of a 2.50 - 2.53 µm absorption feature attributable to carbonates. Carbonates also exhibit a 2.3 µm band similar to the 2.30 - 2.33 µm Fe/Mg-OH band of several phyllosilicates. Thus, this 2.5 µm feature is key to decorrelate the presence of phyllosilicates and carbonates. In the Crater Floor unit, it has been identified only in the Séitah formation, with the support of LIBS investigation [5], and many occurrences have been detected in the Delta.The study of the band depth ratio between the 2.3 and 2.5 µm bands, in terms of detection quality (signal to noise ratio, Fig. 1), shows that positive carbonates detections are consistent with phyllosilicate-carbonate mixtures with a low Mg/Fe-carbonate content. In the Crater Floor, this low carbonate content in presence of phyllosilicates and silicates points towards an alteration of the mafic phase with a CO2-rich fluid. Work is in progress to better understand deconvolution of carbonates from phyllosilicates.

Abstract: International audience; Jezero crater was chosen for exploration and sample collection by Perseverance due to its history as a lake with river deltas, its diverse mineralogy, including carbonates observed from orbit, and as a potential site to calibrate crater counting ages with radiometric dates of samples to be returned to Earth. This presentation focuses on the results of SuperCam, which uses LIBS for remote elemental chemistry, VISIR and remote Raman spectroscopy for mineral compositions and alteration, includes a microphone, and performs high-resolution imaging for textures and morphology. In the first year after landing, SuperCam and other instruments were used to explore Jezero’s floor. We found that all of the floor units are igneous, with lava flows comprising the upper units as part of the Máaz formation, while the lower formation, Séítah, is an olivine cumulate, produced by gravitational settling of olivine crystals in a large melt body. Artuby ridge, just outside the SW portion of Séítah and stratigraphically just above it, contains up to 60% pyroxene. The upper portions of the Máaz formation are more enriched in plagioclase, with the uppermost Ch’al member having the most evolved composition, along with the Content member, pitted rocks directly overlying the main cumulate portion of Séítah. After exploring the floor, Perseverance drove to the delta formation and began a walk-about style of observations starting at Enchanted Lake, just below an arm of the delta formation, and then moving into Hawksbill Gap, climbing 18 m in elevation between Devil’s Tanyard, Sunset Hill, and Hogwallow flats. Delta compositions initially displayed higher phyllosilicate contents, identified by absorptions at 1.4, 1.9, and 2.3 µm, and by higher LIBS H peak areas. Farther up, compositions changed to sulfur-bearing in lower locations within the continuous fine-grained light-toned strata (e.g., Pignut Mountain, Sol 463) and carbonate-rich in upper strata. Veins were observed, consisting of Mg-Fe carbonate (Elder Ridge, Sol 459) and anhydrite (Reid’s Gap, Sol 466). The sulfates suggest precipitation of these salts at a later stage, as the lake was evaporating. Carbonates and sulfates in veins in different locations indicate that groundwater was active in the lithified sediments and had significantly different chemistry at different intervals.

Abstract: International audience; Orbital and rover observations of relictgeomorphic features and stratigraphic architectures indicate Mars once had a warmer, wetter climate. Constraining the character, relative timing and persistence of ancient aqueous activity on Mars is possible through detailed interrogation of the stratal geometry of aqueously deposited sedimentary bodies. Such analyses inform interpretations of Martian climate evolution, potential habitability, and search strategies for rocks that might contain potential biosignatures. A prominent sedimentary fan deposit at the westernmargin of Jezero crater has been inferred to be a river delta that built into an ancient lake basin during the Late Noachian-Early Hesperian epochs on Mars (~3.6-3.8 Ga) [1, 2, 3]. The Perseverance rover landed on 18 February 2021 ~2.2 km from the western fan. During the early phase of mission investigations, highresolution images obtained from the Mastcam-Z camera and from the Remote Micro-Imager of the SuperCaminstrument provided the first ground-based observations of the western fan and an associated remnant outcrop, named Kodiak. Here, we report its sedimentology, which provide new constraints on the nature of the fan deposits, and their paleoenvironmental implications (4).

Abstract: International audience; The Perseverance rover landed on the floor of Jezero crater on 18 February 2021. The landing site, named “Octavia E. Butler” is located ~2.2 km from the SE-facing erosional scarp of the western fan deposits, which are of strong interest for the mission [1-2]. Images obtained using the Mastcam-Z camera and the Remote Micro-Imager (RMI) of the SuperCam instrument provided the first Mars ground-based observations of this western fan (Fig. 1). At the distance images were taken, the RMI images offer a pixel resolution of 2.2 cm, thus enabling identification of objects of typically 7-8 cm (3-4 pixels). Observations of the residual butte Kodiak confirmed the presence of a lake within Jezero crater, but also showed that the lake deduced from the deltaic architecture at Kodiak had a level ~100 m lower than expected (-2495/-2500 m), and was thus a closed system for a significant period [3]. In addition, the coarser deposits (boulder conglomerates and pebbly sandstones) observed near the top of all of the scarps are typical of fluvial floods with high energy, reflecting a change in hydrology of the fluvial system. Here, we focus on the hydrological characteristics of fluvial deposits observed within the scarps of the delta, both as topsets and as boulder conglomerates.

Abstract: This article has a correction. Please see: Erratum for the Research Article: “The dynamic atmospheric and aeolian environment of Jezero crater, Mars” - 10 February 2023 Despite the importance of sand and dust to Mars geomorphology, weather, and exploration, the processes that move sand and that raise dust to maintain Mars’ ubiquitous dust haze and to produce dust storms have not been well quantified in situ, with missions lacking either the necessary sensors or a sufficiently active aeolian environment. Perseverance rover’s novel environmental sensors and Jezero crater’s dusty environment remedy this. In Perseverance’s first 216 sols, four convective vortices raised dust locally, while, on average, four passed the rover daily, over 25% of which were significantly dusty (“dust devils”). More rarely, dust lifting by nonvortex wind gusts was produced by daytime convection cells advected over the crater by strong regional daytime upslope winds, which also control aeolian surface features. One such event covered 10 times more area than the largest dust devil, suggesting that dust devils and wind gusts could raise equal amounts of dust under nonstorm conditions. We gratefully acknowledge the huge effort by the entire Mars 2020 team to meet our launch date despite the COVID-19 pandemic, to land and deploy instruments successfully in Jezero crater, and to conduct operations on the surface of Mars since February 2021. This paper arose from discussions within the Mars 2020 Atmospheres Working Group but would not have been possible without the tremendous contributions of everyone involved in Mars 2020 operations. We wish to especially pay tribute to the many team members based in Europe who regularly work through the night as MEDA or SuperCam Payload Uplink and Downlink Leads (PULs/PDLs) or in other roles and to all those who had shifts as Atmospheres Working Group representatives during this period. Last, we gratefully acknowledge the very helpful and constructive comments from both anonymous reviewers.

Abstract: Before Perseverance, Jezero crater's floor was variably hypothesized to have a lacustrine, lava, volcanic airfall, or aeolian origin. SuperCam observations in the first 286 Mars days on Mars revealed a volcanic and intrusive terrain with compositional and density stratification.The dominant lithology along the traverse is basaltic, with plagioclase enrichment in stratigraphically higher locations. Stratigraphically lower, layered rocks are richer in normative pyroxene. The lowest observed unit has the highest inferred density and is olivine-rich with coarse (1.5 millimeters) euhedral, relatively unweathered grains, suggesting a cumulate origin. This is the first martian cumulate and shows similarities to martian meteorites, which also express olivine disequilibrium. Alteration materials including carbonates, sulfates, perchlorates, hydrated silicates, and iron oxides are pervasive but low in abundance, suggesting relatively brief lacustrine conditions. Orbital observations link the Jezero floor lithology to the broader Nili-Syrtis region, suggesting that density-driven compositional stratification is a regional characteristic.

Abstract: International audience; The Perseverance rover (Mars 2020 mission, NASA) landed in the ancient lakebed of Jezero crater, Mars on February 2021. The payload includes the SuperCam instrument, which combines various remote-sensing techniques to investigate elemental and mineralogical composition. In particular, the near-infrared spectrometer of SuperCam is a novel instrument on the Martian surface. The spectra, together with data from additional visible spectrometers, cover the 0.390.85 m (VIS) and 1.32.6 m (IR) ranges, allowing the identification of a wide variety of minerals. Here, we present the spectral diversity in the VISIR of rocks and soils in the vicinity of the rovers traverse. As of sol 130, most of the rocks analyzed so far are dark-toned rocks in the crater floor (Cf-fr unit) with variable dust cover. Some variability in reflectance levels and absorption bands is observed within and among the rocks, but overall, they share similar spectral characteristics. In particular, most rocks exhibit an absorption near 1.9 m (indicating the presence of water). This band is usually observed weakly or is absent in local regolith but is detected with a depth up to ~20% in the rocks, indicating probably several wt.% of bound water. While mixing of different phases occurs in the few mm of the field of view of the spectrometer, the following candidates were identified: dust, an oxy-hydroxide (e.g., ferrihydrite), an iron-rich phyllosilicate (e.g., nontronite or hisingerite) and an AlOH-bearing phase. Contrary to what have been inferred from the orbit, no unequivocal mafic mineral signature has yet been identified in a rock target in the VISIR implying low mafic minerals content or small associated grain size. However, the soils exhibit a signature of olivine mixed with pyroxene (intermediate Ca content). Portions of sand ripples are strongly dominated by the olivine signature. The detection of widespread hydration features supports that some pervasive water-rock interactions occurred in the past near the Perseverance landing site. From CRISM orbital data, it is likely that the rover will be driving through areas exhibiting progressively increasing hydration throughout its traverse: future measurements on these potentially more hydrated and diverse rocks are expected to bring new insights into the past environment at Jezero crater.

Abstract: International audience; On February 18, 2021, NASAs Mars 2020 Perseverance rover landed successfully in Jezero crater. Several geological and compositional units have previously been identified from orbital data analysis [1,2]: a dark pyroxene-bearing floor unit; an olivine-bearing unit exposed in erosional windows partially altered into phyllosilicates and carbonates [3]; a deltaic complex with possible remnants and marginal carbonate-bearing unit [1]. The SuperCam instrument contains a suite of techniques including passive spectroscopy in the 0.40-0.85 (VIS) and 1.3-2.6 microns (IR) wavelength ranges, and a camera (RMI- Remote Micro-Imager) providing high resolution context images [4]. Since the landing, SuperCam has acquired tens of observations on distant targets (from 10s of m to 20 km) with VISIR and RMI techniques. The IFOV of the RMI images ranges from ~100 microns at 10m to ~20 cm at 20 km allowing to solve objects from ~0.5 mm at 10 m to ~1m at 20 km and the VISIR FOV range from 1 cm to 20 m. Distant observations have been acquired on the western delta front, several mesas and hills, on Jezero floor unit (the unit perseverance landed on and investigated in situ), on the olivine-bearing erosional window, and on more distant targets such as the crater rim or marginal carbonate-bearing unit. The observed spectral signatures form different clusters depending on the type of target, confirming the spectral diversity of Jezero geological units. The western delta front and a residual butte informally named Kodiak are clustered together with spectral signatures in agreement with a mixture of olivine, pyroxene and hydrated phases. The spectra of the erosional window into the olivine bearing unit display the strongest red slope between 1.3 and 1.8 microns, suggesting the presence of olivine in both the exposed rocks and the surrounding soils and in addition, the rocks display a strong signature of hydrated phases. The long distance observations of the crater floor unit are in agreement with the spectral signature identified in the vicinity of the rover [5], which confirms the relevance of long distance observations to assess the geological/mineralogical context of Perseverances future traverse.

Abstract: International audience; The Perseverance rover (Mars 2020 mission, NASA) landed in the ancient lakebed of Jezero crater, Mars on February 18th, 2021. The main science objectives of the mission are the characterization of past habitable environments, the search for preserved biosignatures and the collection of samples to be returned to Earth by the next MSR (Mars Sample Return, NASA/ESA) mission [1]. The payload includes the SuperCam instrument (under the leadership of LANL, USA and IRAP, France), which plays a critical role in the exploration strategy, as it combines various remote-sensing techniques to investigate the elemental and mineralogical composition of rocks and soils: high-resolution color imaging, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, visible and near-infrared (VISIR) reflectance spectroscopy, and acoustic sensing [2, 3, 4, 5]. In particular, the near-infrared spectrometer is a novel instrument on the Martian surface. The spectra, together with data from two additional visible spectrometers, cover 0.39-0.85 µm (VIS) and 1.3-2.6 µm (IR), which allows the identification of a wide variety of minerals.Figure 1. Enhanced-color mosaic of images taken by the Mastcam-Z Left camera of the rover workspace on sol 78 [6]. NASA/Caltech-JPL/MSSS/ASU. Orbital data show that the landing site exhibits diverse mineralogical assemblages in various geological contexts, attesting in particular of an ancient aqueous activity during the Noachian and Hesperian eras (> 3 Ga), and including mafic minerals, carbonates, phyllosilicates and opaline silica [7, 8, 9].We present the initial results of the SuperCam VISIR spectrometers, with calibrated [10] spectral data collected in the first months of operation of the instrument, with a focus on the rocks and soils present in the rover workspace and explored so far. Spectra have been obtained on nearby rocks so far within 50 m of the Octavia E. Butler landing site, at the boundaries of the Crater Floor Fractured Rough (CF-Fr) and Crater Floor Fractured (CF-F) units, which from orbit exhibit the spectral signatures of pyroxene and olivine, respectively [7]. A comparison with orbital data is presented in [11].Most of the rocks analyzed in the close vicinity of the rover so far consists of light-toned `pavers' and upstanding dark-toned rocks (Fig. 1). Some variability in reflectance levels and absorption bands is observed within and between the rocks (Fig. 2), but overall they share similar spectral characteristics in the VISIR. In particular, they all exhibit an absorption band near 1.9 µm (a spectral signature indicating the presence of the water molecule), a band that is usually not observed in the soils - at least not with the same depth. This absorption near 1.9 µm is also present in spectral observations of outcrops a few kilometers away from the rover [11]. In addition to this absorption at ~1.9 µm, a blue slope in the 2.1-2.5 µm region and subtle absorption bands near 1.4 µm and 2.28 µm show up locally, which suggests the presence of hydrated mineral species, such as an iron-rich phyllosilicate (like nontronite or hisingerite), potentially mixed with an oxy-hydroxide such as ferrihydrite (Fig. 2). The intensity of these absorption bands is consistent with at least a few weight percent of these hydrated species in the observed target, either in the bulk of the rock or in a varnish/coating. Finally, fewer spectra exhibit a weak absorption at 2.2 µm, suggesting the additional presence of an Al-OH or Si-OH-bearing phase. Overall, the detection of these widespread hydration features supports some pervasive water-rock interactions during the past, in the landing site of Perseverance. CRISM data suggest that we have landed in a relatively low hydration region, and that the rover will be driving through progressively increasing hydration throughout the mission, as it moves onto the delta, the olivine-carbonate and the region outside of Jezero crater. Future in situ measurements on these potentially more hydrated and diverse rocks are expected to bring new insights into the past aqueous environment at Jezero crater.Figure 2.

Abstract: International audience; The SuperCam instrument on the Perseverance Mars 2020 rover uses a pulsed 1064 nm laser to ablate targets at a distance and conduct laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) by analyzing the light from the resulting plasma. SuperCam LIBS spectra are preprocessed to remove ambient light, noise, and the continuum signal present in LIBS observations. Prior to quantification, spectra are masked to remove noisier spectrometer regions and spectra are normalized to minimize signal fluctuations and effects of target distance. In some cases, the spectra are also standardized or binned prior to quantification. To determine quantitative elemental compositions of diverse geologic materials at Jezero crater, Mars, we use a suite of 1198 laboratory spectra of 334 well-characterized reference samples. The samples were selected to span a wide range of compositions and include typical silicate rocks, pure minerals (e.g., silicates, sulfates, carbonates, oxides), more unusual compositions (e.g., Mn ore and sodalite), and replicates of the sintered SuperCam calibration targets (SCCTs) onboard the rover. For each major element (SiO2, TiO2, Al2O3, FeOT, MgO, CaO, Na2O, K2O), the database was subdivided into five "folds" with similar distributions of the element of interest. One fold was held out as an independent test set, and the remaining four folds were used to optimize multivariate regression models relating the spectrum to the composition. We considered a variety of models, and selected several for further investigation for each element, based primarily on the root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP) on the test set, when analyzed at 3 m. In cases with several models of comparable performance at 3 m, we incorporated the SCCT performance at different distances to choose the preferred model. Shortly after landing on Mars and collecting initial spectra of geologic targets, we selected one model per element. Subsequently, with additional data from geologic targets, some models were revised to ensure results that are more consistent with geochemical constraints. The calibration discussed here is a snapshot of an ongoing effort to deliver the most accurate chemical compositions with SuperCam LIBS.
