Emirates Mars Mission
(EMM)
Mission Details
Specification of the Hope probe
Mass: 1,350 kilograms (2,980 lb)
Power: 1800 watts from two solar panels
Mission Objectives
Study daily and seasonal weather cycle.
Weather events in the lower atmosphere such as dust storms, and how the weather varies in different regions of the planet.
Attempt to find out why Mars is losing hydrogen and oxygen into space and other possible reasons behind its drastic climate changes.
Scientific instruments
Exploration Imager - Camera capable of taking high resolution images (resolution of better than 8 km).
Mars Infrared Spectrometer - An interferometric thermal infrared spectrometer developed by ASU and MBRSC.
Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer (EMUS) - A far-ultraviolet imaging spectrograph that measures emissions in the spectral range 100–170 nm to measure global characteristics and variability of the thermosphere, and hydrogen and oxygen coronae.
