Scientific paper

Solar occultation measurements performed on the Phobos 2 spacecraft in Martian orbit have been used to obtain vertical profiles of ozone concentration, together with evidence for the existence of particles of small dimensions in the 50- to 20-km altitude range. These particles could be H2O ice at the top of the observed range and dust at lower altitudes, possibly haematite, with a wide range of dimensions, dispersed in some other material. The relatively large number of these solid particles opens up the possibility of heterogeneous chemistry having a major role in the atmosphere of Mars.
