The “Emirati Hope Probe” continued its scientific missions, aiming to gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of the planet Mars, and reveal the mystery surrounding it, so that the group of scientific discoveries that have not been seen ever and donations mentioned as a clear increase of it. global understanding of the mystery of the “Red Planet”, and provides more accurate answers to many questions among the questions about its nature and climate, which contributes to strengthening human knowledge about them .
The mission of the Emirates Project, to study Mars, the “Hope Probe,” is moving forward to achieve its main scientific goals of monitoring seasonal and daily changes in the atmosphere and annual changes, including those resulting from the impact of the sun, which leads to the disappearance of the high level of the Martian atmosphere, mainly hydrogen and oxygen, as well as… To study to do on the temporal and spatial behavior of the Red Planet.
In new achievements, on August 7, the “Hope Probe” published observations of the aurora of the dark side of Mars, which included the results of almost two years of studying the effect of local time and seasons on the aurora, and many results help to understand the magnetic environment of Mars and its interaction with the heliosphere.
Last July, the “Hope Probe” made a significant contribution to understanding how Mars is currently losing its water, under changing solar conditions, as it published an image of ‘ show the change in the average intensity of hydrogen hydrogen emissions, over the different seasons of the year on the planet, which showed a significant increase in hydrogen emissions.
In April 2024, the “Hope Probe” provided daily maps of dust and ice over a full Martian year, equivalent to two years on Earth, using data analyzed by the infrared spectrometer.
In April 2023, the UAE announced the extension of the Emirates Project mission to discover Mars, the “Hope Probe,” for an additional year, thanks to the important observations that the project provides about the Red Planet, and to add to his scientific achievements. .
Since the launch of its scientific missions in February 2021, the “Hope Probe” has been successful in achieving achievements that are the first of its kind in human history, such as captured the first image of the hidden object on Mars, approaching a distance of 100. kilometers from Mars’ satellite Deimos, and observing a special phenomenon that has never been seen before called The name is “zigzag discrete aurora” the volcano Olympus Monis, the largest volcano on Mars and the largest volcano in the solar system.
The “Hope Probe” recorded several unique observations of Martian dust storms, and provided unique in-depth information about the way these storms develop and spread over large areas of the planet over the course of more than one Martian year. , which revealed the emission of atomic oxygen at a wavelength of 130.4 nm, highlighting the active dynamics of Mars’ upper atmosphere and the processes that led to its gradual escape into space.
Last February, the former Chief Scientist of the US Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Chairman of the Board of Directors of Metavisionaries Company, Dr. Jim Green, emphasized the importance of the scientific achievements that have been accomplished by the Emirates mission to explore the surface of the Emirates. Mars, through the launch of the “Hope Probe”, describes the mission as a “mission.” “Very special,” because it is truly the first of its kind in orbit around the Martian atmosphere.
It should be noted that last October, the International Academy of Astronautics awarded the team of the Emirates Mars Exploration Project, “Hope Probe”, the Laurels Award for Group Achievement for the year 2023, during the 74th session of the Joint International Astronautical talk (IAC-) 2023). unique observations of the smaller Martian moon “Deimos.”
