We have completed the analysis of 3 full Mars Years of solar occultation measurements with NOMAD on board the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO). The data reveal interesting features of the H2O distribution and variability.
An ISSI project 2023-2025
CAIRT, an Earth Explorer 11 candidate mission in which GAPT is involved, has been selected by the European Space Agency as one of the two mission concepts going into Phase A
Analysis of the observations by the CARMENES instrument has provided new insights into the aerosol presence in distant gas giants.
Dr. Bernd Funke, member of the GAPT, was selected as vice-president of SCOSTEP during the last General Assembly of the IUGG held in Berlin:

Escape y evolución de la atmósfera de Marte combinando análisis del cociente D/H medido por la misión TGO/Exomars con simulaciones físicas del clima marciano
The temperature and composition derived from the data obtained during the first year of operation of the NOMAD instrument have been retrieved and analyzed by the IAA NOMAD team in a series of papers published in JGR: Planets.
