• Calibration of the Heat Flow and Physical Properties Package (HP 3) for the InSight Mars Mission 

      Grott, M.ORCIDiD; Spohn, T.ORCIDiD; Knollenberg, J.; Krause, C.; Scharringhausen, M.; Wippermann, T.; Smrekar, S.E.ORCIDiD; Hudson, T.L.ORCIDiD; Banerdt, W.B. (Earth and Space Science, 2019)
      The (HP 3) of the InSight Mars mission is an instrument package to measure the Martian geothermal heat flow. The instrument's platinum resistance temperature sensors have been calibrated between −75 and +55 °C, and ...
    • Near Surface Properties of Martian Regolith Derived From InSight HP3‐RAD Temperature Observations During Phobos Transits 

      Mueller, N.ORCIDiD; Piqueux, S.ORCIDiD; Lemmon, M.ORCIDiD; Maki, J.ORCIDiD; Lorenz, R. D.ORCIDiD; Grott, M.ORCIDiD; Spohn, T.ORCIDiD; Smrekar, S. E.ORCIDiD; Knollenberg, J.; Hudson, T. L.ORCIDiD; Krause, C.; Millour, E.ORCIDiD; Forget, F.; Golombek, M.ORCIDiD; Hagermann, A.; Attree, N.ORCIDiD; Siegler, M.ORCIDiD; Banerdt, W. B.ORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2021-08-09)
      We use the Martian surface temperature response to Phobos transits observed next to the InSight lander in Elysium Planitia to constrain the thermal properties of the uppermost layer of regolith. Modeled transit lightcurves ...
    • Seismic Velocity Variations in a 3D Martian Mantle: Implications for the InSight Measurements 

      Plesa, A.‐C.ORCIDiD; Bozdağ, E.ORCIDiD; Rivoldini, A.ORCIDiD; Knapmeyer, M.ORCIDiD; McLennan, S. M.ORCIDiD; Padovan, S.ORCIDiD; Tosi, N.ORCIDiD; Breuer, D.ORCIDiD; Peter, D.ORCIDiD; Stähler, S.ORCIDiD; Wieczorek, M. A.ORCIDiD; van Driel, M.ORCIDiD; Khan, A.ORCIDiD; Spohn, T.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021-06-17)
      We use a large data set of 3D thermal evolution models to predict the distribution of present‐day seismic velocities in the Martian interior. Our models show a difference between maximum and minimum S wave velocity of up ...
    • Thermal Conductivity of the Martian Soil at the InSight Landing Site From HP3 Active Heating Experiments 

      Grott, M.ORCIDiD; Spohn, T.ORCIDiD; Knollenberg, J.; Krause, C.; Hudson, T. L.ORCIDiD; Piqueux, S.ORCIDiD; Müller, N.; Golombek, M.ORCIDiD; Vrettos, C.; Marteau, E.ORCIDiD; Nagihara, S.ORCIDiD; Morgan, P.ORCIDiD; Murphy, J. P.; Siegler, M.ORCIDiD; King, S. D.ORCIDiD; Smrekar, S. E.ORCIDiD; Banerdt, W. B.ORCIDiD (Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, 2021-07-14)
      The heat flow and physical properties package (HP3) of the InSight Mars mission is an instrument package designed to determine the martian planetary heat flow. To this end, the package was designed to emplace sensors into ...
