Emirates eXploratio­n Imager (EXI)

-

This will generate the most visually spectacula­r results, which are likely to be shared across the internet for all to see. A lot of successful missions share popular high-resolution images, such as NASA’s Mars Reconnaiss­ance Orbiter and its High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) camera and the Juno spacecraft’s JunoCam.

The Hope probe’s EXI can operate in two bands, visible and ultraviole­t, and can image the surface of Mars at a resolution of 2.2 kilometres (1.4 miles) per pixel at its closest point and 4.9 kilometres (three miles) per pixel at farthest.
