The Mars Microprobe Mission: A Unique Solution for Network Science
Abstract
The second deep-space advanced technology validation mission in NASA's New Millenium Program will demonstrate planetary microprobe technologies. Two microporobes, each consisting of a very low-mass aeroshell and penetrator system, are planned to be launched in January 1999 and arrive at at Mars in December 1999... This paper will summarize the engineering techniques that will be implemented to provide safe landing and operation of the Mars microprobe in its unique environment. This paper will also summarize some key mission and system design trades, as well as discuss some of the technologies being developed.
