Scientific paper

Mars 6 discovered an inert gas (probably argon) in the Martian atmosphere. An analysis is carried out for the available spectroscopic observations, radio-occultation results, and other data, with the aim of determining the maximum argon content with which they are consistent. Possible seasonal variations of pressure are taken into account. It is shown that 25-30% of argon is consistent with all these data. The presence of argon slightly increases the mean pressure estimates; 25% argon increases pressures derived from radio-occultation data by 0.5 mbar.
