Scientific paper

The remote sensing of the Martian upper atmosphere is a challenge which, if met, could help improve our understanding of the planet's thermosphere as well as the aerobraking activities of future space missions. In this work, we present several techniques to retrieve the CO2 density between 120 and 180 km from the UV dayglow observations, and their application to the Mars Express SPICAM observations. Some of the very fast techniques developed here could be improved by in-situ measurements, for example with NASA MAVEN.
