I-Space Research Institute ye-Russian Academy of Sciences (IKI RAS) ibika ukuba abathathi-nxaxheba kwiprojekthi ye-ExoMars-2016 bapapashe iziphumo zokuqala zokuhlalutya idatha kwizixhobo ze-Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO).
Masikukhumbuze ukuba i-ExoMars yiprojekthi edibeneyo yeRoscosmos kunye ne-European Space Agency, ephunyezwe ngezigaba ezibini. Kwinqanaba lokuqala - ngo-2016 - imodyuli ye-TGO ye-orbital kunye ne-Schiaparelli lander waya kwi-Red Planet. Eyokuqala iqokelela ngempumelelo ulwazi lwesayensi, kwaye okwesibini, yeha, yawa.
Kwibhodi ye-TGO kukho i-Russian ACS eyinkimbinkimbi kunye ne-Belgian NOMAD isixhobo, esebenza kuluhlu lwe-infrared ye-electromagnetic spectrum. Ezi spectrometers ziyilelwe ukurekhoda amacandelo amancinci omoya - iigesi ezigxininiso zazo zingadluli amasuntswana ambalwa kwibhiliyoni nganye okanye itriliyoni, kunye nothuli kunye ne-aerosols.
Enye yeenjongo eziphambili zemishini ye-TGO kukubona imethane, enokuthi ibonise ubomi kwi-Mars okanye ubuncinane obuqhubekayo bentaba-mlilo. Kwi-atmosfera ye-Red Planet, iimolekyuli ze-methane, ukuba zibonakala, kufuneka zitshatyalaliswe yimitha yelanga ye-ultraviolet kwisithuba seenkulungwane ezimbini ukuya kwezintathu. Ngoko ke, ukubhaliswa kweemolekyuli ze-methane kunokubonisa umsebenzi wamva nje (ibhayoloji okanye i-volcanic) kwiplanethi.
Ngelishwa, akukabikho kufumaneka imethane kwiatmosfera yaseMartian. βIi-ACS spectrometers, kunye neespectrometers ze-European NOMAD complex, azizange ziyifumane imethane kuMars ngexesha lemilinganiselo ukusuka ku-Epreli ukuya ku-Agasti ka-2018. Kuye kwaphawulwa ngokusithwa kwelanga yinyanga kuzo zonke iindawo,β itsho njalo incwadi ye-IKI RAS.
Nangona kunjalo, oku akuthethi ukuba akukho methane kwaphela kwiatmosfera yeRed Planet. Idatha efunyenweyo ibeka umda ophezulu wokugxininiswa kwayo: i-methane kwi-atmosphere ye-Mars ayikwazi ukuba ngaphezu kweengxenye ze-50 ngetriliyoni nganye. Ulwazi oluninzi malunga nophononongo lunokufumaneka apha.
