Scientific paper

The proposed Mars Scout lander is conceived as a robust airbag landing system to deliver small five-kilogram scientific payloads to a variety of Martian terrains. This lander has very strong constraints on delivered instruments in mass, volume, and footprint. Another constraint on possible instruments will be the large footprint of the airbag landing system that will surround the lander after it deflates. This could make difficult to deploy in-situ instruments such as Alpha X-Ray Proton or Mossbauer spectrometers without a relatively large and heavy deployment arm.
