Anaerobic Photosynthesizers and their Potential to Create a Biosphere on the Surface of the Red Planet [PDF]
فناوری در مهندسی هوافضا, 2023 The atmosphere of the Red Planet or Mars contains 95% of carbon dioxide, 3% of nitrogen, 1.6% of argon and only a small amount of oxygen, and in terms of concentration is about one percent of the planet's atmosphere, which makes it virtually impossible ...

Alternate oscillations of Martian hydrogen and oxygen upper atmospheres during a major dust storm
Nature Communications, 2022 Dust storms on Mars drive water escape to space. Here, the authors show the impact Martian dust storms have on the abundance of atmospheric hydrogen and oxygen, and how this helps to overall oxidize the Martian atmosphere.
