[1] The Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite on the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) measured a Mars atmospheric<sup>14</sup>N/<sup>15</sup>N ratio of 173 ± 11 on sol 341 of the mission, agreeing with Viking's measurement of 168 ± 17. The MSL/SAM value was based on Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer measurements of an enriched atmospheric sample, with CO<sub>2</sub> and H<sub>2</sub>O removed. Doubly ionized nitrogen data at m/z 14 and 14.5 had the highest signal/background ratio, with results ...[more]
