We Present Experimental Scattering Matrix Elements
As Functions Of The Scattering Angle Of Three Martian Dust
Analogue Samples (Jsc Mars 1, Mms2, And Mgs1).
The Measurements Are Performed At The Iaa Cosmic
Dust Laboratory At A Wavelength Of 640 Nm.

Introduction
Dust Aerosol Particles Scatter And Absorb Solar Radiation Playing A Key Role In Determining The Thermal Structure Of Martian Atmosphere. In The Context Of The Eu
Funded Roadmap Project (Http://Roadmap.Aeronomie.Be)
We Aim To Generate An Optically Relevant Mars Dust Analogue As Far As Size And Mineralogy Is Concerned. The
Experimental Study Is Motivated By The Lack Of Satisfactory Modelling Approaches Traditionally Used To Mimic
The Role Of Mineral Dust In The Martian Atmosphere. A
Major Advantage Of Experimental Measurements At Visible Wavelengths Is That We Can Deal With Real Ensembles
