Results from the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM)
Session ID#: 121099
Session Description:
The goal of the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) is to explore the dynamics of the atmosphere of Mars on a global scale, measuring most latitudes and all longitudes and local times across a full Mars year. Using its infrared, visible, and ultraviolet science instruments, EMM will provide a unique set of measurements fundamental to an improved understanding of circulation and weather in the Martian lower and upper atmosphere. In addition, these comprehensive observations will enable a more complete understanding of the connections between the lower and upper atmosphere, including the impact of lower atmospheric dynamics on the escape of light species to space. The EMM Hope probe science phase will officially begin on May 23, 2021. First results from the mission will be presented.
