This work introduces a novel serverless computing architecture designed to analyze Martian auroras for the Emirates Mars Mission (Hope probe). Utilizing OpenCV and machine learning algorithms, the architecture offers efficient and scalable image classification, object detection, and segmentation. It leverages cloud computing's scalability and elasticity, handling large volumes of image data and adapting to varying workloads. Our study highlights the system's capacity to process and analyze images of Martian auroras swiftly while maintaining cost-effectiveness. The application of this technology within the HOPE Mission not only addresses the complexities involved in detecting Martian auroras but also sets a precedent for future remote sensing applications. Our results demonstrate the potential of serverless computing in enhancing the analysis of extraterrestrial phenomena and contributing significantly to planetary science.
