12 Water on Mars Global Map of Epithermal Neutrons

13 Triple point of water Liquid water cannot exist below 6.112 millibar Mars Pathfinder recorded pressures 6.77 millibar to 7.08 millibar and temperatures from -8°C at 2:30pm to -77°C at 5:30am MGS has recorded temperatures as high as +24ºC In the day, an astronaut would feel his head 10º colder than his toes

14 MGS Thermal Emission Spectrometer Minerals found on Mars include hydrated minerals resulting from weathering Deconvolution results for Martian surface spectral types 1 and 2.
