Data to complement varsity's research with NASA's Red Planet missions.
The new data from the Hope Probe will help scientists not only understand planetary mysteries, but support future missions, according to Abu Dhabi-based researcher scientists and experts.
Dimitra Atri, a research scientist at the Centre for Space Science at the New York University Abu Dhabi (NYUAD), said the data from the Hope Probe would complement the university’s ongoing research with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Red Planet missions.
“The Centre for Space Science was created in part to support the UAE’s quest to be a global hub for scientific discovery and innovation in space science. At present, we have a world-class research programme in solar, stellar and planetary science. The new data from the Hope mission will complement our ongoing research with NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) and Curiosity missions.
