  11. O21Dg Korablev et al. (JGR, 2006) The oxygen O21Dg emission line at 1.27 mm is produced by UV dissociation of O3 CO2 ice H2O ice

  12. Etat des lieux • Instrument health: • UV channel defects noticed since orbit #2639 = additional “cleaning” stage in the pipeline • Further degradation since Safe Mode #25 of Mars Express in summer 2011 • IR channel has operated flawlessly and continues to do so • Data Production: • MEx has completed its 10,000th orbit in 2011 • SPICAM has achieved >10,000 observations and collected 13,500,000 UV spectra and 2,000,000 IR spectra to date • 63 Giga-Octets of data transmitted to Earth • Science Production: • 60 publications • JGR special edition (SPICAM results) in 2006 • >180 communications in workshops/conferences

  13. Thèmesscientifiquescouverts • Emissions spontanées de l’atmosphère: • NO detection and characterization (UV) • Auroras and Dayglows (CO2+, CO, etc.) (UV) • Hydrogen and Oxygen corona (UV) • O2dayglow/nightglow (IR) (also relevant to 2.) • Composition et climat: • Ozone, carbon dioxide (temperature) and water vapor mapping and vertical profiling (UV& IR) • Aerosols and clouds characterization (UV & IR) • Surface(s) : • Phobos and Deimos observations (UV)

  14. QuelquesaccomplissementsSPICAMesques….. • Martian Airglows: • First detection of Nitric Oxide emissions, revealing atmospheric global circulation pattern; • First detection of auroras above crustal magnetic field anomalies; • Characterization of dayglow and nightglow emissions; • Characterization of the O and H Martian corona. • Atmospheric Composition & Climate • Detection of mesospheric (>100 km) cloud layers, of likely CO2 ice origin; • First annual mapping of O3, simultaneously with H2O; • 4D (x,y,z,t) distribution of O3 and H2O through combination of occultation and nadir modes; • Compilation of the largest density/temperature dataset in the mesospheric/thermospheric 70 to 140 km altitude range; • Detection of water vapor in a high supersaturation state.
