"It was a blue planet and may now be down to 13 per cent of the amount of water it used to have. It is a wonderful resource to explore the planet," he said during the SRTI Park's inaugural Mena Innovation Technology Transfer Summit (MITT Summit).
Earlier, at a different forum, Green said one promising indication of life on Mars is that every summer, the planet gets gassy, with the amount of methane gas present at the surface increasing dramatically. The Curiosity Rover on Mars also detected molecular oxygen, which increases each spring and summer by up to 30 per cent before dropping again in the fall. "That tells us life may be underground during the summer - the soils heat and therefore loosen up such that the methane can leak out. We have all kinds of circumstantial observations that perhaps Mars has microbial life, too," he explained.
More details on the Red Planet's weather shall be captured by the UAE's Hope probe, when it reaches Martian orbit early next year, in time for the country's golden jubilee.
Hope probe, the first interplanetary mission of the Arab world, will be the first to create a holistic picture of Mars' atmosphere. It will investigate how the lower and upper levels of the planet's atmosphere are connected and generate significant details on how it varies in the entire Martian year.
Green noted Mars had water millions or billions of years ago, and at present, water could be found in underground aquifers and frozen glaciers. Life on Mars could've started there, he said, adding that Nasa is also hoping to find potential evidence of past life on Mars when it lands on the planet in February 2021.
The first flight, Artemis I, is scheduled for launch on November 2021 but it will be unmanned. This will be followed by Artemis II in 2023 with astronauts on board but will not land on the Moon. The following year, the first woman and the next man will be sent to the South Pole of the moon.
Terrier said: "Any future exploration will be an international collaborative effort - like the ISS (International Space Station), where astronauts are deployed in space for a long period. Our next step is to go back to moon with Artemis programme in 2024 for a longer and sustainable stay on the Moon."
Omran Sharaf, project manager of Emirates Mars Mission (EMM) - who was also present at the MIIT Summit - said space exploration, such as Hope's journey to the Red Planet, goes beyond making groundbreaking discoveries. It is about inspiring the youth, said Sharaf, who is one of the first engineers to join the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre.
He added that Hope, which blasted off into space in July this year, is the realisation of the UAE's vision of the future.
Dr Farouk El Baz, director of Centre for Remote Sensing at Boston University, agreed that space studies motivate the youth to think big and dream bigger than life.
Hussain Al Mahmoudi, CEO of SRTI Park, said: "MITT Summit is in line with 'the vision that anticipates the future' being advocated by His Highness Sheikh Dr Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah. The Middle East is becoming the world's fastest-growing marketplace for business and technology transformation."
