ExoMars NOMAD International Team

Our team also counts numerous well-known scientists from:

• Belgium
• Spain
• Italy
• UK
• Canada
• USA

These bring us sophisticated models of the Martian atmosphere; expertise in analysis of spectra to determine the composition of the surface of Mars, as well as the atmospheric constituents, and scientists who have already studied methane on Mars.

We also have scientists who analyse the glow of emissions seem in limb observations, and those involved in other payload instruments who will help us exploit synergies between the instruments on-board. All of them are excited to see the new data that NOMAD will provide to decrypt more of the secrets of the red planet.
