"Mars" was named by the Romans after the name of their god of war because of its red blood-like color. It is the fourth planet in the arrangement in terms of distance from the sun. It is a desert planet characterized by its extremely cold and dusty faces, and its atmosphere is very thin. It is also similar to the Earth in many landmarks such as changing seasons of the year, snow covering the poles, changing weather and spread of canyons, mountains, dormant volcanoes and other features that can be found on our planet.

Mars is the most explored space object in our solar system, with humans sending in many probes, explorers and landing platforms to explore the Red Planet and demystify its secrets. 

According to research conducted by the Emirates Space Agency, Mars was once a warmer and wetter planet, and it has a thicker atmosphere. Here an important question comes to mind, which is what happened over billions of years and led to the transformation of Mars into a dry planet? The only way to discover what happened is the in-depth study of the atmosphere of Mars, which will help a lot not only in going to Mars, but also in our understanding as human beings of the planet and its future.

The Emirates Mars Exploration Project "Probe of Hope", which will start in two days, will explore the deepest climate changes in the atmosphere of Mars by collecting data throughout the day and different seasons and comparing them to each other. The probe will also make some basic measurements that help us understand how the atmosphere of Mars rotates and the nature of weather in both its lower and middle layers, and the probe will use three scientific devices specially designed to help it achieve its mission goals. It is intended that these measurements and data, in addition to observing the upper layers of the atmosphere, will help to understand the reasons for the rise of energy and oxygen and hydrogen molecules to the layers of the atmosphere, and then to understand how they escape from the gravity of Mars. Perhaps what distinguishes the "probe of hope" is the unique mix of advanced scientific devices that were specially designed for this task and the ability to move between the layers of the atmosphere of Mars and its coverage throughout the day, and the different location and changing seasons, which will allow us to take a look as long as we need it most in an atmosphere Planet next to us.

The following videos illustrate the reasons why Mars was chosen as the destination for the "Probe of Hope":

"Probe of Hope" Coming Soon to the Red Planet ... Why Mars?

Mars has dominated human imagination for many centuries, and there have been many trips and experiments to reveal its secrets, which began by studying the stages of the evolution of its atmosphere, to planning missions to send humans to its surface.

Mars was chosen from among other planets for several reasons, the most important of which are:

- The similarity between Earth and Mars helps us discover more facts about the history and climate of our planet.

Developing technologies and solutions for exploring Mars may help us to develop life on Earth.

Exploring Mars may help find answers about the origin of universe formation.

Mars is the planet that has dominated human imagination for centuries 

Mars is the second smallest planet in the solar system, and the fourth planet in order in terms of distance from the sun.

Today on Mars is just over 24 hours ... and the Martian year equals 687 days.

Mars is a rocky planet, has a thin atmosphere, and has two satellites orbiting it.

Mars appears red, due to the oxidation of iron scattered in its soil.

Also, Mars today does not possess a magnetic field.

 The advantages that Mars possesses, making them habitable:

- The soil contains water.

- Man can withstand his current climate.

Receive enough light from the sun to power the solar panels.

- Man can adapt to his attractiveness easily.

- He has different seasons .. He also has a similar day and night cycle.
