Emirates Mars Mission "Science Lead" Hessa Al Matroushi has called ISRO an "important voice among the world’s younger space nations".
The Emirates Mars Mission was launched by United Arab Emirates Space Agency in 2020 for the exploration of the red planet.
The UAE space agency was created in 2014, while ISRO was established over 50 years ago in August of 1969.
The Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) has discovered patchy 'proton auroras' above Mars, suggesting unexpectedly chaotic conditions where the solar wind interacts with the Red Planet's upper atmosphere, according to Space.com
The spatially variable ‘patchy’ proton aurora potentially triggers new insights into unexpected behaviours in the Martian atmosphere. The EMM team has worked together with NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) mission to fully characterise these observations.
