Abstract :
[en] The NOMAD spectrometer suite on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter will map the composition and distribution of Mars’atmospheric trace species in unprecedented detail, fulfilling many of the scientific objectives of the joint ESA-Roscosmos ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission. The instrument is a combination of three channels, covering a spectral range from the UV to the IR, and can perform solar occultation, nadir and limb observations. In this paper, we present the science objectives of the instrument and how these objectives have influenced the design of the channels. We also discuss the expected performance of the instrument in terms of coverage and detection sensitivity.

The NOMAD instrumentis led by the Belgian Institute for Space Aeronomy (BIRA-IASB, Brussels), assisted by Co-PIteams from Spain (IAA-CSIC, Granada), Italy(IAPS, Rome), and the United Kingdom (Open University, Milton-Keynes). Associated teams contributing to the design and development of NOMAD were CSL (Liège, Belgium) and IDR UPM (Madrid, Spain). Wethankall engineering and supporting personnel in these teams for their hard and solid work. Several industrial partners were also associated with the project: we would like to thank in particular the Belgian prime contractor (OIP, Oudenaarde) and the different subcontractors in Belgium and other partners’countries.
NOMAD has been made possible thanks to funding by the Belgian Science Policy Office (BELSPO) and financial and contractual coordination by the ESA Prodex Office (Grant number: PEA 4000107727). The research was performed as part of the “Interuniversity Attraction Poles” program financed by the Belgian government (Planet TOPERS). Spanish Institutions, IAA-CSIC and IDR-UPM were funded by Plan Nacional under Projects AYA2012-
39691-C02-01 and 02. UK funding is acknowledged under the UK Space Agency grantST/I003061/1.
