Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) is a weather station on Mars for Curiosity rover contributed by Spain and Finland.〔(Spain Supplies Weather Station for Next Mars Rover - Marsdaily )〕〔 REMS measures humidity, pressure, temperatures, wind speeds, and ultraviolet radiation on Mars. This Spanish project is led by Javier Gómez-Elvira of the Center for Astrobiology (Madrid) and includes the Finnish Meteorological Institute as a partner,〔〔 contributing pressure and humidity sensors.〔〔(Finnish technology lands on Mars - UUTISET )〕 All sensors are located around three elements: two booms attached to the rover ''Remote Sensing Mast'' (RSM), the ''Ultraviolet Sensor'' (UVS) assembly located on the rover top deck, and the ''Instrument Control Unit'' (ICU) inside the rover. Goals include understanding Martian general circulation, microscale weather systems, local hydrological cycle, destructive potential of UV radiation, and subsurface habitability based on ground-atmosphere interaction.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=MSL Science Corner: Rover Environmental Monitoring Station (REMS) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mars Science Laboratory Fact Sheet )〕 By August 18, 2012, REMS was turned on and its data was being returned to Earth.〔(W. Harwood - Curiosity's Mars travel plans tentatively mapped - CBS )〕 The temperature at that time: 37 degrees Fahrenheit (2.8 degrees Celsius).〔 On August 21, 2012, one of two windspeedmeters returned data with errors. After testing it was concluded that it was broken, probably hit by a rock on descent.〔(Materia - ''El sensor de viento español de 'Curiosity' se estropea'' (Google Translate) )〕 Martian winds can still be detected with the other sensor.〔 Reports are posted on the Center for Astrobiology website and (twitter ) daily.〔http://cab.inta-csic.es/rems/marsweather.html Center for Astrobiology〕〔https://twitter.com/MarsWxReport REMS on Twitter〕 ==See also== *Ministry of Education, Culture, and Sports 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rover Environmental Monitoring Station」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
