Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech. For two decades, the longest-lived spacecraft at the Red Planet has helped locate water ice, assess landing sites, and study the planet’s mysterious moons. NASA’s 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft launched 20 years ago on April 7, making it the oldest spacecraft still working at the Red Planet. The orbiter, which takes its name from Arthur...
ExoMars sees hydrogen chloride embedded in Martian surface 16 Feb 2021 ESA optical platform reveals new chemical cycle in the Red Planet's climate. Martian atmospherics: hydrogen chloride cycle The Trace Gas Orbiter instrument orbiting Mars as part of the ExoMars program has discovered the presence of hydrogen chloride in the planet's surface. Other new findings from the instrument have refined the understanding of how Mars lost its surface water, a process which is also linked to seasonal changes. The findings were revealed via two papers in AAAS Science Advances. Launched in 2016 and reac...

AGI - Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO), lo strumento a bordo di Exomars ha permesso di svelare in che modo l'acqua di Marte si disperde nello spazio. Si pensa che una volta scorreva acqua allo stato liquido sulla superficie di Marte come evidenziato nei numerosi esempi di antiche valli asciutte e letti di fiume. Oggi, l'acqua è principalmente imprigionata nelle calotte polari e sepolta nel sottosuolo. Marte perde acqua ancora oggi, sotto forma di idrogeno e ossigeno che fuoriescono dall'atmosfera. Comprendere l'interazione di potenziali riserve che potrebbero contenere acqua e ...
