This paper explains the research process carried out for the development and manufacture of the planetary protection cover for carrying out the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests of the an-isotropic magneto-resistance (AMR) sensor of the ExoMars 2020 mission. This mission has strict bioburden requirements. The electromagnetic properties of several materials have been analyzed in order to study their transmission coefficient and the innovation of this project is the use of fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology as manufacturing method. Additive manufacturing is presented as a promising technology in the field of radiofrequency since it can use a wide range of polymeric materials (thermoplastics) with low transmission coefficient. Observing the electromagnetic (EM) characterization results, it was decided to manufacture a protective cover using FDM technology, because it allows control over the grounding of the instrument and facilitates the integration, cleaning and protection against impacts during the manipulation, with great versatility and low cost. Finally, the cover has been verified during the acceptance EMC tests of the flight model AMR instrument.

Volcanoes are typical features of terrestrial planets' surfaces. Among the different geological processes which give rise to volcanoes, hydromagmatic eruptions are of particular importance for the search of extraterrestrial life since they require the presence of water.
Phreatomagmatic eruptions on Mars shall resemble those of the Earth. The possibility to perform magnetic surveys on Mars with magnetometers carried by helicopters opens a new scenario to gain more insights on such features. As a natural first step, gathering a database of terrestrial analogue magnetic signatures is desired, prior to magnetic surveys on the Martian surface. In this work we have selected the Caldereta volcano, a phreatomagmatic edifice in Lanzarote Island (Canary Islands), to perform a magnetic survey using on board drones magnetometry. The acquired data will allow to compare future measurements from other similar structures of the “Red Planet”. The survey casts vector magnetic field data generated by the volcanic edifice. Additionally, we suggest a simplified structure that mimics the geomorphology observed, we attribute a magnetization to such structure and develop a mathematical model that computes its sourced magnetic field. Finally, we develop synthetic models of a volcano on Mars which have been preliminarily classified as hydromagmatic taking Caldereta simulated structure as a reference.

Volcanoes are typical features of the solar system that offer a window into the interior of planets. Thus, their study can improve the understanding of the interiors and evolution of planets. On Earth, volcanoes are monitored by multiple sensors during their dormant and active phases. Presently, this is not feasible for other planets’ volcanoes. However, robotic vehicles and the recent technological demonstration of Ingenuity on Mars open up the possibility of using the powerful and non-destructive geophysical tool of magnetic surveys at different heights, for the investigation of surfaces and subsurfaces. We propose a methodology with a view to extract information from planetary volcanoes in the short and medium term, which comprises an analysis of the morphology using images, magnetic field surveys at different heights, in situ measurements of magnetic susceptibility, and simplified models for the interpretation of geological structures. This methodology is applied successfully to the study of different examples of the main volcanic zones of the Iberian Peninsula, representative of the Martian intraplate volcanism and similar to Venus domes, as a preparatory action prior to the exploration of the rocky planets’ surfaces.

Geomagnetic prospection is an efficient and environmentally friendly geophysical method for the analysis of the magnetic minerals’ distribution in the subsurface. High-resolution measurements require on-ground campaigns. However, these activities might imply high costs, risk and time consumption. Some more recent works have started to use magnetometers on-board remote piloted aircrafts. Normally, they fly at a constant altitude and use scalar probes. This configuration permits the determination of the magnitude of the magnetic field but not the direction, and requires advanced techniques for in-depth interpretation of the sources. In this manuscript, we describe the accommodation of a system for vector magnetometry in a drone whose flight altitude follows the elevation of the terrain. This singularity improves the capability of interpretation, including constraints in dating due to the record of the geomagnetic field. The work consists of the design, development and implementation of a solidary payload system anchored to the body of the platform in order to determine the vector magnetic field. It describes the details of the system and the performance characteristics obtained after the calibration, as well as its demonstration via a field campaign in the spatter deposits of Cerro Gordo volcano in Campos de Calatrava volcanic province in Spain.

This letter addresses on the design of a planetary protection shell for performing the Electro-Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) tests of the Anisotropic Magneto-Resistance (AMR) sensor of the ExoMars mission. This mission has strict bio-burden requirements. The ElectroMagnetic (EM) properties of several materials have been investigated for measuring their transmission coefficients and the novelty of this letter is the use of Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) technology as the production method. Additive manufacturing is presented as a promising technology in the field of radiofrequency since it can use a wide range of materials (including thermoplastics) with high and low transmission coefficient. The investigation comprises the analysis of the electromagnetic properties of several 3D printer materials in order to study their transmission coefficients. Seeing the EM characterization results, it was decided to produce a shell using FDM technology because it provides control over the grounding of the instrument and makes easier the integration, cleaning and protection against impacts during the operation, with great versatility and low cost. To finish, the shell has been proved during the acceptance EMC tests of the flight model and flight spare AMR instrument.
