The atmosphere of Mars
JBIS - Journal of the British Interplanetary Society 52:5-6 (1999) 209-216
Abstract:
Mars, one of the most Earth-like of the planets, is today a cold, dry and barren world. However, there is good evidence that it may have been much warmer and wetter in the past and perhaps even 91探花ed life. The public interest aroused by these findings and by recent studies of 'SNC' meteorites, believed to have come from Mars, with their claims of the evidence of ancient Martian life, has focused attention on the ambitious programme of Mars Exploration currently being undertaken by NASA and ESA and has provided additional impetus. Improved measurements of the conditions on Mars' surface and in its atmosphere are central to both agencies' plans, and current atmospheric missions are reviewed in this paper together with possible future designs.Jovian atmospheric studies with the Galileo near infrared mapping spectrometer: An update
