“Hope Probe” Publishes new scientific data for Mars
Publishing the Emirates Mars Exploration Project “Hope Probe” The second batch of scientific data collected by the scientific devices carried by the probe of hope on board as part of its scientific mission to explore the climate and atmosphere of the red planet.
The publication of the second batch of scientific data through the information center within the website of the Emirates Mars Exploration Project confirms the commitment of the UAE to share these valuable scientific data with the scientific community around the world, to help scientists, researchers and those interested in space sciences understand the phenomena and interactions that occur in the atmosphere of Mars.
Engineer Imran Sharaf, director of the Emirates Mars Exploration Project, confirmed “Hope Probe” The sharing of the second batch of valuable scientific data collected by the probe as part of its scientific mission around the Red Planet, according to the approved timetable, confirms the UAE’s continued implementation of its commitment to contribute to the scientific progress of humanity, by making these scientific data available with the scientific community, specialists and interested people around the world. Which helps to draw an accurate scientific picture about the atmosphere of Mars and its atmosphere.
The second batch that was published includes 76 gigabytes of information, images and scientific data collected by the scientific devices it carries “Hope Probe” On board during the first months of his scientific mission around the red planet, specifically from May 23 to August 31, 2021.
As part of our ongoing effort to provide the scientific community with unprecedented data about the Red Planet’s atmosphere, we have released the second batch of science data from the Hope Probe to advance our understanding of climate change on Mars.

The first batch of scientific data included unique images of Mars that make unprecedented observations about the behavior of the gases in the atmosphere of the red planet and the interactions that occur between them. These observations show significant differences in the abundance of both atomic oxygen and carbon monoxide in the upper atmosphere of Mars on the day side of the planet. It also reveals structures that were not expected in terms of size and complexity, and will have an impact on currently known scientific models of the Martian atmosphere as well as on scientists’ understanding of its changes and interactions.
