Table 1 Relation between the science goal, medium objectives and related science themes
From: The Mars system revealed by the Martian Moons eXploration mission
Science goal | Medium objective | Science theme | Measurement |
|---|---|---|---|
SG-2: from the viewpoint of the Martian moons, clarify the driving mechanism of the transition of the Mars-moon systems and add new knowledge to the evolution history of Mars | MO-2.2: add new findings and constraints on the history of changes in the Martian surface | Paleoclimate restored from Martian samples on Phobos surface | Martian samples accumulated on the Phobos surface |
History of changes in the H2O and CO2 reservoirs of Mars | Ions escaping from the atmosphere including cold ions | ||
MO-2.3: constrain the mechanisms of material circulation in the Martian atmosphere affecting the transitions in the Martian climate | Material transport processes in the present Martian atmosphere | Continuous monitoring of the behavior of dust, clouds and water vapor with high temporal and spatial resolutions |
