Live Launch of the Emirates Mars Mission” Hope Probe” from the Tenaghashima Space Centre in Japan. The Emirates Mars Mission Hope Probe, the first Arab interplanetary mission, has been developed by the UAE. The Hope Probe will be the first spacecraft to provide a complete picture of the Martian atmosphere and its layers when it reaches the red planet’s orbit in 2021. It will help answer key questions about the global Martian atmosphere and the loss of hydrogen and oxygen gases into space over one Martian year.
The exciting findings come from scientists in the US and UK, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cardiff University, University of Manchester and others. Jane Greaves of Cardiff University lead the study.
The new peer-reviewed research paper was published in Nature Astronomy today, September 14, 2020. The Royal Astronomical Society also provided an online press briefing for journalists via Zoom, with three of the researchers to discuss the results, as well as issuing its own news release.
It should be noted that this is not quite yet proof of life on Venus, but the researchers make a compelling case.
