Since 2011, LATMOS has been involved in the development of Micro-ARES, an electric field sensor forming part of the DREAMS science payload of the ExoMars 2016 Schiaparelli entry, descent and landing demonstrator module (EDM). Micro-ARES is dedicated to the very first measurement and characterization of Martian atmospheric electricity.

The instrument, a compact version of the ARES instrument for the former ExoMars Humboldt payload [1], is composed of an electronic board, with an amplification line and a real-time data processing Digital Signal Processor.
