Mars Dust Storms Are An Interdisciplinary
Field Of Research. They Have Adverse Effects For
The
Entry-Descent-Landing
Operations
Of
Spacecraft, The Energy Production By The Solar
Panels Of Mars Rovers And Landers, And Others. As
Can Be Foreseen, Dust Storms Also Have
Implications For The Future Human Exploration Of
Mars. Dust Storm Research Is Directly Aligned
With The Emirates Mars Mission (Emm) Science
Objective On The Lower Atmosphere, And Also To
The Objective Of Correlating The Lower And Upper
