The atmosphere of Mars is a resource of known composition available at any landing site on Mars. It has been proposed that human exploration of Mars could use carbon dioxide (CO 2) from the Martian atmosphere to make methane (CH 4) and use it as rocket fuel for the return mission.
Other improvements has been made in order to allow public access to older and newer models of Mars' general circulation. MCMC has recently presented a community analysis pipeline (CAP) which is an open-source tool for analyzing and visualizing the Mars general circulation model. The project hopes to streamline and increase access to Mars data.
While Mars's climate has similarities to Earth's, including periodic ice ages, there are also important differences, such as much lower thermal inertia. Mars' atmosphere has a scale height of approximately 11 km (36,000 ft), 60% greater than that on Earth. The climate is of considerable relevance to the question of whether life is or ever has ...

Mars atmospheric entry is the entry into the atmosphere of Mars. High velocity entry into Martian air creates a CO 2 -N 2 plasma, as opposed to O 2 -N 2 for Earth air. [ 1 ] Mars entry is affected by the radiative effects of hot CO 2 gas and Martian dust suspended in the air. [ 2 ]
Unlike Earth, Mars does not have a global magnetic field to protect its atmosphere, leaving it vulnerable to solar ultraviolet radiation. Scientists crack mystery of Mars' missing atmosphere ...
