Emirates Mars Mission - Hope Probe - in a Martian Year

<p>In April 2023, the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) completes its primary science mission observing the Martian atmosphere with global coverage examining the diurnal and seasonal variations throughout one full Martian year. The mission has disseminated publicly more than 1 TB of scientific data combined from three scientific instruments studying the atmosphere of Mars from ultraviolet, visible, and infrared bands. The measurements are taken from a highly elliptical orbit (20,000 km periapse and 43,000 km apoapse) providing unprecedented local and seasonal time coverage over most of the planet. Here we summarize the discoveries and key results from the primary science mission of EMM revealing atmospheric behavior and connections that challenge existing models and assumptions that we have of the Martian atmosphere and form new global perspective of the planet. We will also highlight the status of the mission and recent updates on its extended science phase.</p>
