PTAL

PTAL (Planetary Terrestrial Analogues Library) is a collaborative EU Horizons 2020 project to build and use a multi-instrument spectral database.

Hello, and welcome to PTAL's new Twitter page! We are a group of researchers from @UniOslo, Norway @UVa_es, Spain, and @u_psud, France.

Together, we are working towards building a "library" of rocks across Earth, the Moon, Mars, and the rest of the solar system!

Our team is currently brainstorming to suggest analogue rocks for an ExoMars simulation exercice that will involved all instruments. Of course, rocks from our paper focused on Oxia Planum spectral analogue are part of it!

[PTAL @PTAL_2020]

We end the project with a beautiful cake today

Today it the day!
The PTAL database is officially released! https://t.co/T36GeabvyJ

Thanks a lot! Do not hesitate to contact us if you want to find out more.

Great presentation on the Planetary Terrestrial Analogues Library (@PTAL_2020) today at #EPSC2021 !

[PTAL @PTAL_2020]

Today at #EPSC2021 two presentations related to PTAL in the #Mars Surface and Interior session starting at 10:20 (CEST). B. Bultel will present one appplication of PTAL database to Mars exploration and M. Veneranda will present the PTAL platform itself.

[PTAL @PTAL_2020]

Tomorrow, Marco Veneranda will presents how to access to the database during a workshop of the #EPSC2021 Come to listen at 12:45 (CEST)

[PTAL @PTAL_2020]

Yesterday the last pictures of samples were done. Now all the rocks of the PTAL collections will be visible on the database.

[PTAL @PTAL_2020]

Today at #EPSC2021 Agata Krzesinska will present a study based on #PTAL samples. What are the clays detected at #Oxia Planum where @ESA_ExoMars will land in 2023? Discover that in the Mars Exploration session today at 11:45–12:45 & 14:20–15:55. #astrobiology #exomars

[PTAL @PTAL_2020]

Here is the setup to take the pictures of all PTAL samples. These pictures will be part of the database so that the users can visualize how the samples look likes.

Today, @planetwerner will present PTAL at the #EPSC2021 in the #astrobiology session starting at 11:45
