Scientific paper

The characteristics and operations of the mass spectrometer used on the Mars 6 descent stage are described. The experimental data obtained from the spectrometer are compared to laboratory calibrations. The CO2 content of the Martian atmosphere is shown to be not less than 75%. The experiment provided the first direct confirmation that an inert gas, apparently argon, is a significant component in the Martian atmosphere.
