Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) has released the 12th batch of scientific data captured by the “Emirati Hope Probe” about Mars’ atmosphere.
Bringing the total data collected by the probe since its launch to 5.4 terabytes and over one million files.
The data gathered by “Hope Probe” assists scientists, researchers, and space enthusiasts.
So they gain a comprehensive understanding of the Martian atmosphere at different times and throughout the planet’s various seasons.
Emirati Hope Probe Adds to UAE list of Space Accomplishments
The goal is to significantly contribute to the understanding of polar auroras and climate changes in Mars’ atmosphere.
By collecting data across different times of the day and seasons, allowing for comparative analysis.
The continuous release of scientific data by the “Emirati Hope Probe” follows the extension of the Emirates Mars Mission’s scientific work on the Red Planet.
This data adds to the list of accomplishments the Emirates Mars Mission has provided to the global scientific community.
The mission has contributed to the publication of dozens of scientific papers in prestigious international journals.
Supporting researchers and scientists worldwide while also fostering the growth of research conducted by Emirati students, scientists, and researchers.
Instruments
The “Emirati Hope Probe” is equipped with three innovative scientific instruments:
- EXI (Emirates eXploration Imager): digital camera, which captures high-resolution colored images of Mars.
It is also used to measure ice and ozone in the lower atmosphere. - EMIRS (Emirates Mars InfraRed Spectrometer), which measures temperature, dust distribution, water vapor, and ice clouds in the lower atmosphere.
- EMUS (Emirates Mars Ultraviolet Spectrometer), which measures oxygen and carbon monoxide in Mars’ thermosphere.
As well as hydrogen and oxygen in the outer atmosphere.

It’s noteworthy that “Emirati Hope Probe” has completed around 1,535 days since its launch to the Red Planet.
The probe orbits in an elliptical path between 20,000 kilometers and 43,000 kilometers, with an inclination of 25 degrees towards Mars.
It completes one orbit every 55 hours, gathering a comprehensive set of data on Mars every nine days as part of its mission to map the planet’s atmosphere.
