At the end of 1997, JPL initiated the Mars Balloon Validation Program (MABVAP) to develop and validate the technology needed for a Mars balloon mission. The main focus of MABVAP was to develop and to test a viable concept for the Martian balloon that could be implemented on the small-scale dedicated or piggy-back mission.
The Mars Geoscience Aerobot (MGA) is a proposed Mars aerobot (robotic aerovehicle) mission featuring advanced capabilities for surface imagimg and atmospheric science. Development of the MGA mission has been catalyzed by science objectives that include surface geology and atmospheric measurements. The MGA consists of a superpressure balloon that is reflective on top and white on the bottom to avoid condensation CO&sub2; frost during the night. The MGA also features a
