ESA ExoMars program: The next step in exploring Mars
Witasse, O.; Svedhem, H.; McCoy, D. +6 more
The ExoMars program is an ESA-Roscosmos cooperation with some NASA contributions. ExoMars consists of two missions, one in 2016 and one in 2018. The 2016 mission includes an orbiting satellite dedicated to the study of atmospheric trace gases to acquire information on possible on-going geological or biological processes, and a European entry, desc…
ACS experiment for atmospheric studies on "ExoMars-2016" Orbiter
Montmessin, F.; Fedorova, A. A.; Shakun, A. V. +6 more
ACS is a set of spectrometers for atmospheric studies (Atmospheric Chemistry Suite). It is one of the Russian instruments for the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) of the Russian-European "ExoMars" program. The purpose of the experiment is to study the Martian atmosphere by means of two observations regimes: sensitive trace gases measurements in solar occul…
Numerical simulations of the global circulation of the atmosphere of Venus: Effects of surface relief and solar radiation heating
Rodin, A. V.; Mingalev, I. V.; Orlov, K. G.
The results of numerical simulations of the global circulation of the atmosphere of Venus in the framework of the complete set of gas dynamics equations, taking into account surface relief, are presented. To calculate the radiative heating/cooling of the atmosphere, the relaxation approximation is used. The heating parameters, at which the modeled…
