  The article “NOMAD, an Integrated Suite of Three Spectrometers for the ExoMars Trace Gas Mission: Technical Description, Science Objectives and Expected Performance”, discusses a spectrometer suite incorporated into the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, NOMAD (“Nadir and Occultation for Martian Discovery”). NOMAD comprises of three spectrometers: Solar Occultation (SO), Limb and Nadir Occultation (LNO) and Ultraviolet/Visible Spectrometer (UVIS). The SO spectrometer only performs solar occultation and works in the infrared range(2.3-4.3um). The LNO spectrometer is capable of performing solar and nadir occultation and limb observations and also operates in the infrared range(2.3-3.8um. The UVIS spectrometer operates in the ultraviolet and visible light range(200-650nm) and can be used to detect carbon dioxide ice grains at high altitudes. These spectrometers work with each other to collect data which allows us to understand Mars’ “atmospheric composition and the related physical and chem...

The article “NOMAD, an Integrated Suite of Three Spectrometers for the ExoMars Trace Gas Mission: Technical Description, Science Objectives and Expected Performance”, discusses a spectrometer suite incorporated into the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter, NOMAD (“Nadir and Occultation for Martian Discovery”). The article mentions that the purpose of NOMAD is to study the trace gases, clouds and dust present within Mars’ atmosphere. The main purpose of the Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is to detect and quantify trace gases on Mars, a process that is only possible with NOMAD since it was specifically designed to detect and quantify these gases. The NOMAD satellite is equipped with three spectrometers which allows it to measure the spectral emissions from the atmosphere, spanning ultraviolet, visible light, and infrared wavelengths. According to the article “NOMAD, an Integrated Suite of Three Spectrometers for the ExoMars Trace Gas Mission: Technical Description, Science Objectives and Expected Perform...
