A team of scientists has created a high-resolution map of Mars that holds great potential for researchers aiming to understand the red planet's history.

The EXI is a multi-wavelength radiation-tolerant camera that captures 12-megapixel images. The instrument was jointly developed by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado Boulder and the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Center , the home of the UAE National Space Program. “EXI captures high-resolution images of Mars which allows scientists to study the lower Martian atmosphere in visible and ultraviolet wavelengths,” explains LASP.
“We plan to make our map available to the entire planet, as part of the new and more advanced Atlas of Mars, which we have been working on, and will be available in both English and Arabic once published. The hope is that this accessibility will make it a great tool for researchers, and also students to learn more about Mars, and showcase the possibilities that the space sector in the UAE can offer,” says Atri.
“The complete Mars Map also brings the UAE and the Arab world another step closer to achieving EMM’s ambitious mission goal, to provide a complete global picture of the Martian climate. More than 30 previous spacecraft have only managed to capture a snapshot of the Mars weather, whilst EMM will follow the seasonal changes throughout a Martian year,” Atri says.
