Fails GNG. For reference, CHAMP was a proposed instrument that doesn't seem to have been included in the Mars Science Laboratory. Originally proposed at https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/20090007927 - all sources I can find are either primary (authored by one or more of the inventors) or mention the instrument only in passing. Deprodded on account of Google Scholar hits, but I don't think any of those articles are secondary. Anerdw (talk) 07:19, 28 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. My own searching only came up with the small selection of primary sources already included in the artcle, and that's not enough. The only plausible WP:ATD I could see is a merge to Mars Science Laboratory, but that would be a stretch. RoySmith (talk) 17:31, 13 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
