Mars Trace Gas Mission: Scientific Goals and Measurement Objectives
Panel Selection:
Mars: Not Phobos and Deimos.
Institution:
NASA Goddard Space Flight Center
Trace gases are a sensitive indicator of current martian activity, whether photochemical or biogeochemical. A Trace Gas Mission measuring atmospheric composition, circulation and state, and locating active sources would characterize this activity and its implications for climate and astrobiology.
