The Micro-Met mission is a micro-meteorological experiment for Mars designed to take globally distributed pressure measurements for at least one Martian year. A series of 16 landers equally spaced over the planet's surface will take pressure and temperature data and relay it to investigators on Earth. Measurements will be logged once every hour and transmitted to an orbiter once every thirty days using Mars Balloon Relay protocol. Micro-Met data will aid tremendously in the development and refinement of a global model of Martian weather. The purpose of the work at Stanford was to make a preliminary study of the Micro-Met electronic and power systems. The primary objectives were to verify that the system could operate within the originally budgeted power estimates and to develop a working prototype system. The prototype would initially use whatever hardware fit the functional requirements, and successive prototypes would incorporate increasingly flight-like hardware. The Phase 1 design described in section 3.2 was finished by the end of the project. It used non-flight hardware and communicated by wire, but functioned as desired. Most of the Phase 2 components were identified and vendors located.
