Sample Return Mineralogy

Sample Return Mineralogy is a mineralogical research methodology that involves the precise characterization and analysis of extraterrestrial materials retrieved from planetary bodies and returned to Earth, distinguished by its reliance on physically acquired samples for high-fidelity laboratory-based compositional, structural, and isotopic investigation.
