Mars is a windy world, and NASA’s orbiters feel the force of its shifting atmosphere every day. From small dust devils twisting across the plains to massive planet-encircling storms, these winds shape the surface—and the future of exploration.
In this Mars News Report (June 22, 2022), NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Deputy Project Scientist Leslie Tamppari reveals how high-resolution images from the HiRISE camera allow scientists to decode the movement of wind across the Red Planet. With the help of over 80,000 citizen scientists, researchers have cataloged hundreds of thousands of “wind fans”—surface markings that trace the direction and intensity of Martian airflow.
Understanding Martian winds helps scientists:
• Study the planet’s current climate and ancient atmospheric history
• Determine why some dust storms stay local while others grow into global events
• Prepare future robotic missions and human explorers for the harsh environment of Mars
Join us as we explore how scientists read the Red Planet’s atmospheric fingerprints.
