“…England & Hrubes (2004) reanalyzed the Viking lander data and found variations from 2500 to 3300 ppm. They point out that the 1300 ppm published by Owen et al (1977) are not based on Viking measurements, but on the ground-based data cited above and claim that the amount of 3000 ppm is high enough to directly extract oxygen for use as a propellant for sample or crew return as well as for the breathing of astronauts (England & Hrubes 2001).…”

We report on an initial analysis of Herschel/HIFI observations of hydrogen chloride (HCl), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), and molecular oxygen (O 2 ) in the Martian atmosphere performed on 13 and 16 April 2010 (L s ∼ 77• ). We derived a constant volume mixing ratio of 1400 ± 120 ppm for O 2 and determined upper limits of 200 ppt for HCl and 2 ppb for H 2 O 2 . Radiative transfer model calculations indicate that the vertical profile of O 2 may not be constant. Photochemical models determine the lowest values of H 2 O 2 to be around L s ∼ 75• but overestimate the volume mixing ratio compared to our measurements.

Space exploration has made significant advances over recent years. There are now many planned robotic exploration missions for the Moon, Mars and asteroids. Carrying enough fuel for future return journeys, particularly as necessary for human exploration missions poses a key challenge, or inefficiency of having to take all required fuel for return trip for the mission, incurring significant weight penalties and opportunity cost. The UAE has announced its Mars 2117 Vision, a 100 year plan, to build a habitable settlement on Mars, and in particular: "Mars 2117aims to build the knowledge and scientific capabilities that will enable the UAE to realise humankind's universal dream of the very first sustainable settlement on the red planet within the next 100 years". Recent exploration of Mars has identified some key in-situ raw materials regarding the presence of water ice, and an atmosphere for which the major component is carbon dioxide, comprising approx. 96%. The UAE's current Emirates Mars Mission "Hope" aims to build on that knowledge and increase our understanding with respect to the Martian climate. Future missions to Mars will lead to the development of in-situ resources. The associated technologies share many synergies with terrestrial activities concerning oil, gas and the energy industries. Furthermore, it is considered that the technology development for off-world resources may have significant advantages for terrestrial industry. The associated innovations and philosophy are consistent with the UAE's National Objectives regarding the furthering of a "Sustainable Environment and Infrastructure".
