Trace Gas Orbiter

The Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) is a spacecraft launched by ESA and Roscosmos to study Mars. It orbits the planet to analyze its atmosphere, focusing on tiny amounts of gases like methane, which could indicate active geological or biological processes. The TGO also serves as a communication relay for other Mars missions, helping transmit data back to Earth. Its advanced instruments provide detailed information about the composition and behavior of Mars’ atmosphere, improving our understanding of the planet's environment and potential habitability.
