The Hope probe is the focus of specialized scientific articles for the most prestigious international universities

The Emirates Mars Exploration Project has attracted more global scientific interest, with the University of Colorado Boulder and the University of Arizona publishing detailed reports on the Emirates Mars Exploration Project “Hope Probe”, the first project led by an Arab country to explore planets, considering it a pioneering contribution to serving the global scientific community. and human knowledge.

The global interest in the Hope Probe is an indication of the leadership of the scientific mission undertaken by the UAE to explore the planet Mars, and it clearly reflects the growing role of the UAE in international forums and its contribution to providing knowledge and science to serve humanity.

University of Colorado Boulder, USA: Birth of a new generation of Emirati scientists

came in report Scientific published by the website of the University of Colorado Boulder, USA, that the Emirates Mars Exploration Project aims to inspire and prepare generations of Engineers, scientists and Emirati capabilities, and providing them with the necessary opportunities and knowledge to enrich Knowledge Human and work towards future Promising to all.

The report highlighted the most difficult stage in the historic journey of the Hope probe, which is 27 minutes, in which the probe reduces its speed from 121 km / h to 18 km / h, to enter the capture orbit around Mars in one day. 9 Feb 2021Then he began his scientific missions to collect data about the planet's atmosphere.

And the report stated in the words of His Excellency Sarah Al Amiri, Minister of State for Advanced Technology and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Emirates Space Agency: “One of the objectives of the Emirates Mars Exploration Project, “Probe of Hope” is to motivate young people and enhance scientific capabilities, especially in the field of space sciences. We have seen a qualitative shift in the aspirations of our students in the UAE. We also saw great interest in the project at the regional level.”

"The Hope Probe will be able to," said Dr. Daniel Baker, director of the Department of Atmospheric and Space Physics Laboratory at the University of Colorado Boulder.  To present a comprehensive study on the climate of Mars and present it to the scientific community for the first time.” .

The report provided a set of technical details about the process of entering the Hope probe into the capture orbit around Mars, and how it will perform this process automatically and without any human intervention by burning nearly half of the fuel on board. probe while entering to slow it down just enough to catch it in orbit.

“We are fortunate to be working on this project, and everything is looking very good at the moment,” the report quoted Pete Withnell of the University of Colorado at a recent press conference.

The report cited a statement by Professor David Breen, a researcher in the laboratory and associate professor of astrophysics and planetary sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder: “The probe can fly over a specific geographical spot on the surface of the planet, and study the atmosphere over it at different times of the day.”

University of Arizona, USA: Unprecedented information about the Red Planet

In turn, the website of Arizona State University, USA report Detailing about the UAE project to explore Mars, the "Hope Probe", noting that the Hope Probe, the first project led by an Arab country to explore planets, will reach the orbit of Mars. next Tuesday, and will provide an unprecedented comprehensive picture of the Martian atmosphere, and the probe will spend one Martian year (about two years on Earth) orbiting the Red Planet to collect important scientific data.

And the website of Arizona State University quoted Imran Sharaf, director of the Emirates Mars Exploration Project, as saying: “The approaching arrival of the probe to its orbit around Mars culminates in a six-year development journey during which the MBRSC team cooperated with knowledge partners. criteria for similar planetary exploration missions.

As Philip Christensen, professor and specialist in planetary science at Arizona State University, said: “Working with Emirati scientists and engineers on their first planetary exploration mission has been a wonderful new experience for us. They added so much excitement and enthusiasm to the project and it was a pleasure working with them.”

The report touched on scientific instruments that were specifically designed for this mission, including the infrared spectrometer, which will provide a unique view of the lower and middle atmospheres of Mars, and it will measure the distribution of dust particles and ice clouds while tracking the movement of steam and heat through the atmosphere.

The Hope probe is expected to reach Mars orbit on Tuesday, February 9, 2021, after its launch 7 months ago, to collect unprecedented scientific data over one Martian year, equivalent to 687 Earth calendar days in its orbit around the Red Planet.
