Space Science Reviews - The Emirates Mars Mission – Hope Probe

New Topical Collection published in Space Science Reviews

Dordrecht, 07 March 2022

The Emirates Mars Mission (this opens in a new tab) (EMM) was launched to Mars in the summer of 2020, and is the first interplanetary spacecraft mission undertaken by the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The mission has multiple programmatic and scientific objectives, including the return of scientifically useful information about Mars. Three science instruments on the mission’s Hope Probe will make global remote sensing measurements of the Martian atmosphere from a large low-inclination orbit that will advance our understanding of atmospheric variability on daily and seasonal timescales, as well as vertical atmospheric transport and escape. 
 

READ NOW: Edited by David Brain and Sarah Yousef Al Amiri, a collection of five open-access articles (this opens in a new tab) covering and reviewing the mission design and development has now been published in Space Science Reviews.


A team of Emirati and American engineers worked across two continents to complete a fully functional and tested spacecraft and bring it to the launchpad in the middle of a global pandemic. EMM is being operated from the UAE and the United States, and will make its data freely available.
