Bungwe la Space Research Institute la Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) linanena kuti omwe atenga nawo mbali mu polojekiti ya ExoMars-2016 adasindikiza zotsatira zoyamba za kusanthula deta kuchokera ku zida za Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).
Tikukumbutseni kuti ExoMars ndi pulojekiti yolumikizana ya Roscosmos ndi European Space Agency, yomwe yakhazikitsidwa m'magawo awiri. Pa gawo loyamba - mu 2016 - gawo la TGO orbital ndi Schiaparelli lander anapita ku Red Planet. Yoyamba imasonkhanitsa bwino zasayansi, ndipo yachiwiri, tsoka, idagwa.
M'bwalo la TGO muli zida za ku Russia za ACS ndi chipangizo cha ku Belgian NOMAD, chomwe chimagwira ntchito mu infrared range of electromagnetic spectrum. Ma spectrometer awa adapangidwa kuti alembe tizigawo tating'ono tamlengalenga - mipweya yomwe kuchuluka kwake sikudutsa tinthu tating'ono pa biliyoni kapena thililiyoni, komanso fumbi ndi ma aerosols.
Chimodzi mwazolinga zazikulu za ntchito ya TGO ndikuzindikira methane, yomwe ingasonyeze moyo ku Mars kapena zochitika zophulika zamapiri. M'mlengalenga wa Red Planet, mamolekyu a methane, ngati akuwoneka, ayenera kuwonongedwa ndi cheza cha ultraviolet mkati mwa zaka mazana awiri kapena atatu. Chifukwa chake, kulembetsa mamolekyu a methane kungasonyeze zochitika zaposachedwa (zachilengedwe kapena zophulika) padziko lapansi.
Tsoka ilo, sikunathekebe kuzindikira methane mumlengalenga wa Martian. "Ma spectrometer a ACS, komanso ma spectrometer a European NOMAD complex, sanazindikire methane pa Mars panthawi yoyeza kuyambira Epulo mpaka Ogasiti 2018. Anthu ankaona kadamsana mβmadera onse akutali,β linatero buku la IKI RAS.
Komabe, izi sizikutanthauza kuti mumlengalenga wa Red Planet mulibe methane. Zomwe zapezedwa zimakhazikitsa malire apamwamba: methane mumlengalenga wa Mars sangakhale magawo 50 pa thililiyoni iliyonse. Zambiri za kafukufukuyu zitha kupezeka apa.
