The Subsurface Ice Probe (SIPR) : a low-power thermal probe for Mars polar layered deposits
The distinctive layer visible in images from Mars Global Surveyor of the Martina polar caps, and particularly in the north polar cap, indicates that the stratigraphy of these 'polar layered deposits' may hold a record of Martian climate history covering millions of years.

Name the Mars Miniature Probes
Two brave explorers travel to a mysterious, distant world. They go where no one has gone before and boldly begin to explore. They discover new things about this world. In shareing this information they help to shape human understanding about our universe.

A Miniaturized Seismometer for Subsurface Probing on Mars
Seismology is one of the most powerful tools for investigating the subsurface structure of a planet. The mechanical structure information derived from seismic measurements is complementary to other methods of probing the subsurface (such as gravity and electromagnetics), both in terms of spatial and depth resolution and the relevant types of material properties being sensed. In the near-surface, the propagation of seismic waves is especially sensitive to density and degree of compaction. In addition, interfaces between layer with contrasting properties can be relatively easily delineated. The subsurface of Mars provides an obvious target for seismic investigations. Searching for the presence of water is among the highest priority goals of the Mars Exploration Program, but there are many other important science questions that could be addressed by a seismic profile of the upper layers of the crust. We have developed an extremely small, lightweight, low-power seismometer for planetary applications which is ideally suited for use on Mars. This instrument has previously been proposed and selected for use on a comet (on the Rosetta Lander, subsequently deselected for programmatic reasons) and Mars (on the NetLander mission, with an emphasis on global structure determination).
