NASA Forges Martian Data-Exchange Arrangement With UAE Space Agency
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that it has forged a Mars data-sharing pact with its counterpart in the United Arab Emirates. The scientific collaboration involves the exchange of information gleaned from probes currently orbiting the Red Planet, NASA said Tuesday.
The American space agency said that as part of the arrangement, it will be sharing with Emirati partners information sent back by its Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution probe. In return, the UAE will be supplying NASA with data from the Hope Probe mission.
The arrangement is expected to add value to both NASA’s MAVEN and the Emirates Mars Mission, as well as the scientific communities involved in analyzing the data the missions collect.
Shannon Curry, MAVEN’s principal investigator from the University of California, Berkeley, explained that although both missions are investigating Mars, MAVEN and Hope Probe are each exploring different aspects of the Martian atmosphere and upper-atmosphere system. It is expected that when combined, the two spacecraft can provide a better understanding of “the influence of the lower atmosphere on the escape to space of gas from the upper atmosphere.”
NASA said that MAVEN went into orbit around Mars in 2014. Its mission is to investigate the upper atmosphere and ionosphere of Mars, offering an insight into how the planet’s climate has changed over time.
Meanwhile, the EMM’s Hope Probe, which went into Mars orbit in 2021, is studying the relationship between the upper layer and lower regions of the Martian atmosphere, giving insight into the planet’s atmosphere at different times of the day and seasons.

NASA imefunga makubaliano ya kubadilishana data ya Mars na Shirika la Anga la UAE (U.A.E.) na shirika la kimataifa la anga na anga (NASA) limetangaza kuwa limefanya makubaliano ya kushiriki data ya Mars na shirika la kimataifa la anga la UAE. Ushirikiano huo wa kisayansi unahusisha kubadilishana habari zilizopatikana kutoka kwa chombo cha uchunguzi kinachozunguka sayari nyekundu, NASA ilisema. Shirika la anga la Marekani limesema kuwa kama sehemu ya mpango huo, litashiriki na washirika wa Emirates habari zilizotumwa na chombo cha Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution. Kwa kubadilishana, UAE itatoa NASA na data kutoka kwa ujumbe wa Hope Probe. Mkataba huo unatarajiwa kuongeza thamani kwa NASA's MAVEN na Emirates Mars Mission, pamoja na jamii za kisayansi zinazohusika katika kuchambua data ambazo misheni hizo hukusanya. Shannon Curry, mtafiti mkuu wa MAVEN kutoka Chuo Kikuu cha California, Berkeley, alielezea kwamba ingawa misheni zote mbili zinachunguza Mars, MAVEN na Hope Probe kila moja inachunguza mambo tofauti ya anga ya Mars na mfumo wa anga ya juu. NASA imesema kuwa MAVEN ilitembelea sayari ya Mars mwaka 2014. Kazi yake ni kuchunguza angahewa la juu na ionosphere ya Mars, kutoa ufahamu wa jinsi hali ya hewa ya sayari imebadilika kwa muda. "Kwa upande mwingine, ""Hope"" probe ya EMM, ambayo ilikwenda kwenye mzunguko wa Mars mwaka 2021, inajifunza uhusiano kati ya tabaka la juu na maeneo ya chini ya angahewa la Mars, ikitoa ufahamu wa angahewa la sayari wakati tofauti wa siku na misimu." "Mashine ya ""Mars Hope"" ya NASA, iliyoundwa na NASA, imewekwa kwenye anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga ya anga."
