The design and utilization plans for the Mars Balloon guiderope are described with attention given to environmental and mission constraints. The guiderope is intended to enable the balloon to fly close to the Martian surface to sample the surface and near-surface atmosphere. The 'Snake' concept is described for this application which comprises overlapping cones that provide a smooth dragging surface as well as structural flexibility. A 'tail' segment of small diameter is attached to the Snake that stabilizes the guiderope with titanium shells and also serves as half of the required radar dipole antenna. A specific design is set forth for the Snake and Tail elements that provides dust-tolerant effectiveness without lubricant for the extreme conditions of the Martian surface. The resulting guiderope for the Mars 96 Balloon Mission is expected to render the exploratory mission effective.
