TEGA Low Temp Soil –With Acquire
Objectives:
Power on and perform the low-temperature ramp on a
surface soil sample just acquired. This sample will be taken right next to Rosy Red, the sample put into the first WCL cell. After warm up, we will collect residual data for 7 to 43 minutes (depending on the time the shaker runs) then begin the ramp program. We analyze the atmosphere via the TA inlet for
16 minutes followed by 15.5 minutes of carrier gas analysis. We have 10 minutes of supermode 7 which will get background isotope ratios The ramp assumes we start early in the morning (6:00 am). It starts at -40 C and goes to -
30 C and holds to look for a temperature change upon oven closing. We then ramp back down to -40 C in anticipation of starting the heating ramp. We will not do a measurement of heat capacity, as it is felt the heating to -10 compromises our ability to detect a low-T melting of ice (due to salt).
We turn off the gas flow to prevent blowing any melt water out of the oven, and after allowing time for the pressure to bleed off, we then ramp to +35 C with no carrier gas flow. We do not flow carrier allowing for the vapor pressure of water to drive the water vapor out of the oven.
We capture a gas sample
following a 3-minute hold at +35 C. At this temperature we allow 61 minutes for any water to
vaporize. We run calibration gas at the end of the run and we have two different pressure settings for the TA manifold for calibration of the sensor.
Note: This block will run at LOW emission unless otherwise requested by the Instrument Lead.
This is our third sample. Delivery to TA5 on Sol ______. Delivery will be done via sprinkle method with a “tent” delivery.
Verify Door Open for TA Complete: TA5 Door is “partially” opened
This will be an early morning delivery between 5 – 6am. Current ramp assumes a 15 minute oven close.
Gas(es) used: Carrier and Calibration. Mars ATM will also be collected through the TA Samplevalve.Filaments used: 1 SW Version (386): V513 SW Version (EGA): V321 Sweep and hop mode version(s): MODE TABLE V123. Super modes and Sweep modes used: Supermodes 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9 and 12; Sweeps 37, and 38.
