Ua hōʻike ka Space Research Institute o ka Russian Academy of Science (IKI RAS) i nā mea i komo i ka papahana ExoMars-2016 i paʻi i nā hopena mua o ka nānā ʻana i ka ʻikepili mai nā mea kani o ka Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).
E hoʻomanaʻo mākou iā ʻoe he papahana hui ʻo ExoMars o Roscosmos a me ka European Space Agency, i hoʻokō ʻia i ʻelua pae. I ka pae mua - ma 2016 - ua hele ka TGO orbital module a me ka Schiaparelli lander i ka Red Planet. Ua hōʻiliʻili maikaʻi ka mea mua i ka ʻike ʻepekema, a ʻo ka lua, auwe, hāʻule.
Aia ma luna o ka moku TGO ka Russian ACS complex a me ka mea Belgian NOMAD, e hana ana ma ka laulā infrared o ka spectrum electromagnetic. Hoʻolālā ʻia kēia mau spectrometers e hoʻopaʻa i nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi o ka lewa - nā kinoea nona ka manaʻo ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ma mua o kahi liʻiliʻi o ka piliona a i ʻole trillion, a me ka lepo a me nā aerosol.
ʻO kekahi o nā pahuhopu nui o ka mikiona TGO ʻo ia ka ʻike ʻana i ka methane, kahi e hōʻike ai i ke ola ma Mars a i ʻole ka hana lua pele. I loko o ka lewa o ka Honua Ula, pono e luku ʻia nā molekala methane, inā ʻike ʻia, e ka hoʻomālamalama ultraviolet o ka lā i loko o ʻelua a ʻekolu mau kenekulia. No laila, hiki i ke kākau inoa ʻana o nā molekala methane ke hōʻike i ka hana hou (koiola a i ʻole ka lua pele) ma ka honua.
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻike i ka methane ma ka lewa Martian. "ʻAʻole i ʻike nā spectrometers ACS, a me nā spectrometers o ka European NOMAD complex, i ka methane ma Mars i nā ana mai ʻApelila a ʻAukake 2018. Ua hana ʻia nā mākaʻikaʻi ma ke ʻano eclipse lā ma nā latitu a pau," wahi a ka paʻi ʻana o ka IKI RAS.
Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ʻaʻohe methane i ka lewa o ka Honua ʻula. Hoʻonohonoho ka ʻikepili i loaʻa i kahi palena kiʻekiʻe no kona ʻike ʻana: ʻaʻole hiki ke ʻoi aku ka methane i ka lewa o Mars ma mua o 50 mau ʻāpana no ka trillion. Hiki ke loaʻa ka ʻike hou aku e pili ana i ka haʻawina ma aneʻi.
