SLOW MOTION FIELD TEST OF LASER-INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY (LIBS) AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS FOR GEOLOGICAL MAPPING OF ROCKS AND SURFICIAL MATERIALS AT THE HAUGHTON IMPACT STRUCTURE DEVON ISLAND CANADASUMMARY: THE HAUGHTON IMPACT STRUCTURE PROVIDES A UNIQUE SETTING FOR DEMONSTRATING REMOTE ANALYSIS OF COMPLEX OUTCROPS PRODUCED BY IMPACT PROCESSES. LASER-INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY (LIBS) IS A NEW TECHNOLOGY FOR BOTH GEOLOGICAL AND GEOCHEMICAL EXPLORATION OF THE MOON AND MARS. AN EXCITING DEVELOPMENT FOR LIBS IS THE ABILITY TO DISTINGUISH MINERALOGY ALONG WITH CHEMISTRY (LANZA ET AL. 2008 LPSC #2299). WE PROPOSE TO SIMULATE A REMOTE INVESTIGATION OF ONE OR MORE OUTCROPS AT HAUGHTON. THE SUCCESSFUL SLOW MOTION FIELD TEST (SMFT) ACCOMPLISHED BY THE MARS SCIENCE LABORATORY INSTRUMENT TEAMS ESPECIALLY THE CHEMCAM LIBS INSTRUMENT AND CHEMIN XRD PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK FOR THIS FOLLOW-ON PROJECT (WIENS ET AL. 2008 LPSC #1500). FOR THIS PROPOSAL DRS. NEWSOM OSINSKI AND LEE (THE FIELD SCIENCE TEAM) WILL SELECT TARGET OUTCROPS AND SEND PREVIOUSLY COLLECTED SAMPLES TO THE REMOTE TEAM (CONSISTING OF DRS. NEWSOM WIENS CLEGG VANIMAN AND KING AND THEIR STUDENTS). AT HAUGHTON THE FIELD SCIENCE TEAM WILL ACQUIRE THE REQUIRED IMAGES OF THE OUTCROP AND ANY NEW SAMPLES NEEDED FOR LATER ANALYSIS. THE REMOTE TEAM WILL SELECT SITES TO INVESTIGATE AND ITERATION OF THE PROCESS TO SIMULATE UP TO APPROXIMATELY 10 DAYS OF ROVER OPERATION WILL ALLOW A GOOD TEST OF THE REMOTE TEAM S ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND THE CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY OF AN OUTCROP THAT HAS BEEN EXTENSIVELY STUDIED BY TRADITIONAL METHODS AND WILL ALLOW FEEDBACK FROM THE FIELD TEAM ON HOW THE REMOTE INVESTIGATION COULD HAVE BEEN IMPROVED. THIS PROGRAM WILL ALSO ALLOW NEW PROCEDURES AND INSTRUMENTATION TO BE TESTED SUCH AS DEPTH PROFILING WITH LIBS. FOLLOWING THE SIMULATED FIELD TEST THE OPPORTUNITY TO STUDY THE PREVIOUSLY COLLECTED GENERIC SAMPLES AND ADDITIONAL SAMPLES COLLECTED IN THE FIELD DURING THE TEST WILL PROVIDE AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF THE PROJECT BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE FROM THE MSL SMFT.
