Scientific paper

We present a complete simulation of the geodesy part of the NEIGE experiment (NEtlander Ionosphere and Geodesy Experiment) that will fly on the 2009 joint US-French mission to Mars. The experiment will probe the deep interior of Mars (core and mantle) by looking at the nutations, and will monitor the balance of volatiles by looking at the lenght of day variations and polar motion. This objectives will be achieved by a Doppler tracking between a small network of micro-landers on Mars surface and a Mars Orbiter, and between this Mars Orbiter and the Earth. The total duration of this experiment will be at least half a martian year.
