there was a very short story in Science yesterday (for those having access it's here
just one sentence to retain: QUOTE the Indian Space Research Organisation notes that the tiny satellite is "more of a technological mission than a science mission." there is also a detailed list of instruments on NASAspaceflight forum note that the Indian methane detector is said to be QUOTE designed to measure methane in the Martian atmosphere with ppb accuracy i think this is about the same capability as the spectrometer on Mars Express. TGO, IIRC should go for part-per-trillion accuracy |
