1 PRINCIPALS OF VOLATILE COMPONENTS MEASUREMENTS IN THE GAP EXPERIMENT ONBORD THE PHOBOS-GRUNT MISSION AND BEYOND. M.V.Gerasimov and the GAP team IKI RAS, Moscow, 11.10.2011

2 Kaidun Phobos Origin of Phobos? Trapped asteroid or in orbit formation? How much it was differentiated? Which type of meteorites simulates its material? What can we learn from investigation of volatiles of Phobos?

3 Chemical composition of some carbonaceous chondrites Carbonaceous chondrites names

4 Concentration of volatiles in different petrographic types of meteorites (Wood, 1968) petrographic types 123456 Sulfides ->0.5%<0.5% Carbon ~ 2.8%0.6 – 2.8%0.2 – 1.0%<0.2% Water ~20%4 – 18%<2%

8 - to investigate the origin of Martian satellites on example of Phobos; - to investigate properties of small planetary objects in space environment; - to study possible differentiation of early planetary materials; - to study volatiles inventory; - to study organic materials; - to study the influence of Phobos on the near Martian environment (dust torus, gas, plasma and magnetic field perturbations); - to investigate the detailed structure of the Martian atmosphere including vertical profiles of temperature, aerosol, and trace atmospheric components (water vapor, CO, CH 4, etc); - to investigate diurnal variations of surface temperature of Mars. Scientific objectives of the “PhSR” mission Phobos Sample Return mission (2011)

9 Three main questions to characterize volatiles: 1. Concentration of volatile elements? Concentration = Total mass of the volatile element in the sample Mass of the sample

10 water organics trapped hydrogen other hydrogen Three main questions to characterize volatiles: 1. Concentration of volatile elements? 2. Form of incorporation of volatiles in the soil? carbonates carbides organics other carbon

11 3. Isotopic composition of volatile elements? Three main questions to characterize volatiles: 1. Concentration of volatile elements? 2. Form of incorporation of volatiles in the soil?

12 Gas Analytic Package (GAP) for the “Phobos Sample Return Mission” Scientific objectives of the GAP 1.Investigation of chemical composition and inventory of volatiles (water, СО 2, N 2, SO 2, organics, noble gases, etc.) in situ in the soil at the landing place; 2.Investigation of volatile-containing phases in the soil of the Phobos; 3.Investigation of organic components in the soil of the Phobos; 4.Measurement of isotopic composition of CHON elements ( 13 С/ 12 С, D/H, 17 O/ 16 O, 18 O/ 16 O, 15 N/ 14 N) and noble gases; 5.To constrain the mineralogical composition of the Pobos soil (with emphasis on the volatile-bearing minerals) on the basis of thermal and gas evolving experiments with the use of data from other experiments. The structure of the GAP Soil preparation and loading system Thermal Differential Analyzer Chromatograph Mass- spectrometer TDA MS GC

13 Objectives of the TDA 1. To measure exo- and endothermal reactions in the sample of soil to determine minerals with phase transitions at temperatures <1000  C; Thermal Differential Analyzer (TDA) 2. To perform the release of volatile components into the gas phase and provide their transfer into GC and MS; 3. To perform pyrolysis of heavy organics (kerogens?) for their analysis in GC and MS;

14 SOil Preparation SYStem = SOPSYS Tasks of the device 1.To take a portion of soil from the manipulator. 2. To mill large pieces of rocks and sieve the soil to extract the necessary fraction for loading into pyrolytic cells. 3. To extract the dose of the sample for loading into the pyrolytic cell. 4. To clean itself for the next cycle.

15 Pyrolytic cell Cell parameters: Т mах - 1000  С (1350  С) W max - 22 W Mass - 20 g Sample volume -  4 mm  5 mm PC cross-section

16 Tasks of the chromatograph 1.Accumulation of gases which are released from the sample during pyrolysis. 2. Redistribution of gases of different types (permanent gases, organics, etc.) between respective columns. 3. Separation of different gases by time of retention. 4. Measurement of abundance of separate gas component. 5. Measurement of isotopic ratios of D/H, 13 C/ 12 C, 17 O/ 16 O, 18 O/ 16 O in CO 2 and H 2 O using TDLAS. Gas Chromatograph
