Scientific paper

The Phoenix Mars Mission, the first of NASA's `Scout Program', is scheduled to launch in August of 2007, arriving at the Martian surface 10 months later. Under the motto of `Follow the Water', Phoenix will search for ice in both the Martian regolith, using a variety of instruments and a robotic arm, and in the atmosphere, by employing a CSA funded Lidar (Light Direction and Ranging) system. The Lidar will operate at two wavelengths (532nm and 1064nm), providing information on atmospheric scatterers such as ice and dust. For the purposes of mission planning, the expected Lidar return signals have been modeled and some initial results are presented.
