Scientific paper

The Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) Spacecraft has an excellent suite of instruments for near surface measurement of humidity, pressure, wind speed, down-welling radiation and the hydration state of the surface (REMS and DAN) [1]. We describe two sets of observations that can be conducted using the existing instrument compliment that would extend the science return to include observations of water ice. Each of our proposed experiments has been validated using existing data sets from spacecraft at Mars. We also motivate the use of onboard image processing for future landed spacecraft to enhance the value of atmospheric science return.
