For the first time in history a Moessbauer spectrometer was placed on the surface of another planet. The miniaturized Moessbauer spectrometer MIMOS II is part of the Athena payload of NASA's twin Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) Spirit,and Opportunity. It determines the Fe-bearing mineralogy of Martian soils and rocks at the Rovers respective landing sites, Gusev crater and Meridiani Planum. First results of soil and rock measurements at both landing sites confirm a generally basaltic composition of Martian surface materials.
