Space Applications of LIBS

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 182))

Abstract

The unique advantages of LIBS as an analytical tool to determine chemical composition has resulted in strong interest in developing the technology for space exploration. To place LIBS capabilities in context, a brief review will be presented of prior missions to the Moon, Mars, and Venus along with a discussion of past and current instrumentation used for analysis of planetary surfaces. The development of LIBS for close-up and stand-off measurements directed toward space exploration will be discussed including recent laboratory work and instrument designs for current and future missions. The ChemCam LIBS instrument currently operating on Mars on the Curiosity rover will also be described.
