Changes in the Martian atmosphere induced by auroral electron precipitation
Gérard, J. -C.; Hubert, B.; Shematovich, V. I. +1 more
Typical auroral events in the Martian atmosphere, such as discrete and diffuse auroral emissions detected by UV spectrometers onboard ESA Mars Express and NASA MAVEN, are investigated. Auroral electron kinetic energy distribution functions and energy spectra of the upward and downward electron fluxes are obtained by electron transport calculations…
How Particles in the Martian Atmosphere Influence the Thermal Protection Structure of the Descent Module EXOMARS-2
Golomazov, M. M.; Ivankov, A. A.
Methods for calculating heat and erosion impact caused by particles in the Martian atmosphere on the heat protection of the descent module EXOMARS-2 during descent in the atmosphere are presented. Atmosphere models corresponding to climatic conditions when landing on the Martian surface are investigated for the landing site Oxita Planum.
