UAE's Hope Orbiter Adds Color to Mars Map.

The United Arab Emirates' Hope Orbiter has released the first months of results of its detailed captures of Mars' atmosphere and surface, including seasonal changes, in the form of a full-color Mars Atlas website and downloadable PDF. The atlas is the result of about 3,000 captures from the Emirates eXploration Imager (EXI) multi-band camera, with new images in the pipeline. Hope has transitioned to a higher, science orbit on March 29, which gives the orbiter a good view of the seasonal transitions on the Red Planet.

Exploring the Enigmatic Moon Deimos of Mars.

The United Arab Emirates Space Agency (UAESA) has captured the highest resolution images of Mars' moon Deimos to date, revealing that the tiny satellite may not have originated from captured asteroids as previously believed. Instead, observations from the UAE's Hope orbiter suggest that Deimos and its larger counterpart Phobos may have formed from leftover material after Mars' formation or may be chunks of the planet that broke free following an asteroid impact. The mystery surrounding the moons may soon be cleared up as Japan plans to send a probe to study them and retrieve samples from Phobos in the mid-2020s.

"UAE's Hope Probe mission produces unprecedented Mars map"

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) Center for Space Science and New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) have created a high-resolution map of Mars using data collected by the Emirates Mars Mission (EMM), also known as Hope or Al-Amal. The map shows the Red Planet's geological features in stunning detail, including polar ice caps, mountains, and remnants of ancient rivers, lakes, and valleys that once overflowed with liquid water. The map could help scientists better understand how Mars became a dry and barren landscape despite once being abundant with liquid water. The map will be made available to the entire planet as part of the new and more advanced Atlas of Mars.
