Abstract
The Mars Observer mission, scheduled for launch in September 1992, will provide an orbital platform at Mars from which the entire Martian surface and atmosphere will be observed beginning in late 1993. Mars Observer will extend the exploration and characterization of Mars by providing new and systematic measurements of the surface and atmosphere of the planet. These measurements will be made from a low-altitude polar orbiter over a period of one Martian year (687 Earth days), permitting repetitive observations of the surface and of the seasonal variations of the atmosphere. The mission is being designed in a manner that will provide new and valuable scientific data at a significant reduction in cost and operational complexity.
