“…For its calculation, the IDAT/SpectPro software was used. [ 27–29 ] This software is a proprietary software being developed by the researchers of the University of Valladolid for the exploitation and analysis of spectra acquired by the RLS instrument. This software includes graphical management and annotation tools (zooming and labeling) and also spectral analytical tools.…”

“…Furthermore, SpectPro provides graphical tools to perform peak detection (comparing with a threshold graphically set by the user, providing basic band information such as intensity, position, and FWHM) and band adjustment (allowing the graphical definition of Gaussian–Lorentzian bands to facilitate the deconvolution of bands on complex mixtures). [ 27–29 ] Details on the SpecPro software will be amply discussed in another paper under preparation. For the particular analysis performed with this data, the spectra were processed by removing their baseline, and the peak characteristics were obtained by using the peak detection tool of SpectPro, which directly provides the FWHM of the detected bands.…”

The Raman laser spectrometer (RLS) instrument onboard the Rosalind Franklin rover of the ExoMars 2022 mission will analyze powdered samples on Mars to search for traces of life. To prepare for the mission, the RLS scientific team has developed the RLS ExoMars Simulator (RLS Sim), a flexible model of RLS that operates similarly to the actual instrument, both in laboratory and field conditions, while also emulating the rover operational constraints in terms of sample distribution that are relevant to the Raman analysis. This system can operate autonomously to perform RLS-representative analysis in one or several samples, making it very useful to perform heavy experimental tasks that would otherwise be impossible using a flight-representative model of the instrument. In this work, we introduce the current configuration of the RLS Sim that has incorporated new hardware elements such as the RAman Demonstrator 1 (RAD1) spectrometer with the objective of approaching its performance to that of the actual RLS instrument. To evaluate the scientific capability of the RLS Sim, we have compared it with a replica model of RLS, the RLS Flight Spare (FS). Several acquisition aspects have been evaluated based on the analysis of select samples, assessing the performance in terms of spectral range and resolution and also studying several issues related to the evolution of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with different acquisition parameters, especially the number of accumulations. This performance analysis has shown that the RLS Sim in its updated configuration will be a key model to perform support science for the ExoMars mission and the RLS instrument on the

The SuperCam and SHERLOC instruments onboard the NASA/Perseverance rover are returning the first Raman spectra to be ever collected from another planet. Similarly, the RLS instrument onboard the ESA/Rosalind Franklin rover will collect Raman spectra from powdered rocks sampled from the subsurface of Mars. To optimize the scientific exploitation of Raman spectra returned from planetary exploration missions, tailored chemometric tools are being developed that take into account the analytical capability of the mentioned Raman spectrometers. In this framework, the ERICA research group is using laboratory simulators of SuperCam and RLS to perform representative laboratory studies that will enhance the scientific outcome of both Mars2020 and ExoMars missions. On one hand, preliminary studies proved the chemometric analysis of RLS datasets could be used to obtain a reliable semi-quantitative estimation of the main mineral phases composing Martian geological samples. On the other hand, it was proved the data fusion of Raman and LIBS spectra gathered by SuperCam could be used to enhance the discrimination of mineral phases from remote geological targets. Besides describing the models developed by the ERICA group, this work presents an overview of the complementary chemometric approaches so far tested in this field of study and propose further improvements to be addressed in the future.

“…Veneranda et al [ 3 ] presented a paper on the Analytical Database of Martian Minerals (ADaMM) project, an extended multianalytical database of mineral phases that have been detected on Mars or are expected to be found at the landing sites where the Mars2020/Perseverance rover is already operating, and ExoMars/Rosalind Franklin rover will do. The most valuable scientific contribution of this work is the use of laboratory prototypes simulating the analytical performances of the spectroscopic systems onboard the Mars 2020 and ExoMars rovers, that is, the Raman Laser Spectrometer (RLS) and SuperCam systems.…”

was the 14th edition of the international biennial meeting devoted to the application of Raman spectroscopy to mineralogy, geology and earth sciences in broad sense. However, this edition was marked by the COVID19 pandemic. Initially, it should have been held in spring in Weihai (China), but the circumstances, with a worldwide confinement and strong travel restrictions, in what was the first wave of the pandemic focused on Asia, led to the hard decision to be made to move the meeting to Bilbao (Spain) and hold the conference in the fall. Unfortunately, the successive waves of the pandemic and the global uncertainty prevented the formal celebration of said meeting.Far from being discouraged, it was decided to keep the spirit of GeoRaman open a call for abstracts and publish a book of abstracts after the pertinent scrutiny of the scientific committee. The 2020 edition of the conference gathered around 90 research works. GeoRaman 2020 focused on topics, which can be summarized as follows:1. Mineralogy, gemmology and provenance studies 2. Planetary analysis and space exploration 3. Astrobiology and biomineralization 4. Petrology, field and experimental volcanology 5. Geothermobarometry and fluid geochemistry 6. Carbonaceous materials 7. Cultural heritage and archaeometry This special issue of the Journal of Raman Spectroscopy is dedicated to the 14th International GeoRaman Conference and comprises 27 papers covering some of the topics listed above.
