Martian atmospherics: hydrogen chloride cycle
The Trace Gas Orbiter instrument orbiting Mars as part of the ExoMars program has discovered the presence of hydrogen chloride in the planet s surface.
Other new findings from the instrument have refined the understanding of how Mars lost its surface water, a process which is also linked to seasonal changes. The findings were revealed via two papers in AAAS Science Advances.
Launched in 2016 and reaching Mars in October of that year, the Trace Gas Orbiter represents the first of two scheduled ExoMars missions (named for their Exobiology on Mars agenda), operated by the European Space Agency (ESA) and the Russian space agency Roscosmos. The second is due to be launched in 2023 and carry a rover vehicle to the surface via a Roscosmos lander.
