Dubai: The Emirates Mars Mission (EMM), the first interplanetary exploration undertaken by an Arab nation, has made the first observations of a new type of proton aurora around Mars. The spatially variable ‘patchy’ proton aurora potentially triggers new insights into unexpected behaviours in the Martian atmosphere. The EMM team has worked together with NASA’s MAVEN […]
Abu Dhabi: The Emirates Mars Mission ‘Hope Probe’ has identified new observations, in addition to its nominal set of observations, about Mars’ atmosphere in its fourth batch of scientific data. Collected by the Hope Probe’s instruments during its mission in Mars’ orbit from December 2021 to February 2022, the latest data demonstrate the capabilities of […]
DUBAI: The Emirates Mars Mission (EMM), the first Arab interplanetary mission, celebrates on 9 February the first anniversary of its successful entry into Mars’ orbit and the gathering of a unique trove of Mars observations by the Hope Probe. One year on, the autonomous spacecraft has achieved historic milestones as part of its mandate to […]
DUBAI: The Emirates Mars Mission, the first interplanetary mission undertaken by an Arab nation, has released the second tranche of observations to a global audience of scientists, researchers, educationalists and enthusiasts. Over 76 GB of raw data has been uploaded to the EMM Science Data Centre and is available athttps://sdc.emiratesmarsmission.ae as part of the second batch […]
DUBAI: The Senior Director and Project Manager of Emirates Mars Mission, Omran Sharaf, is also the Director of the Programmes Management Department at the UAE Space Agency’s Mohammed bin Rashid Space Centre gave some insights on space missions. Working with Emirates Mars Mission, how did you feel seeing the Hope Probe arrive at Mars earlier […]
DUBAI: The Emirates Mars Mission, the first interplanetary exploration undertaken by an Arab nation recently released unique new images of Mars that challenge the existing conceptions of how the planet’s atmospheric gases behave and interact. Taken by the Mars Hope probe’s EMUS instrument, the observations show dramatic variations in the concentrations of both atomic oxygen […]
DUBAI – The Emirates Mars Mission, the first interplanetary exploration undertaken by an Arab nation, today marking a year since the mission’s launch from Tanegashima Space Centre in Kagoshima Prefecture, southwestern Japan on 20th July 2020. The mission has not only performed nominally across all areas, but has exceeded its anticipated performance, encompassing a range […]
DUBAI – The Emirates Mars Mission, the first interplanetary exploration undertaken by an Arab nation, today released the first global images of Mars in the far-ultraviolet, providing new insights into the discrete aurora phenomenon in Mars’ nightside atmosphere. The images have revolutionary implications for our understanding of the interactions between solar radiation, Mars’ magnetic fields […]
