The Mars Aerial Platform (MAP) mission is a conceptual design for a low cost mission aimed at generating thousands of very-high-resolution pictures of the Martian surface, mapping the global circulation of the planet's atmosphere, and examining the surface and subsurface. The latter effort could utilize ground-penetrating radar, infrared and neutron spectroscopy, or other remote sensing techniques. Data would be acquired by instruments carried aboard balloons flying at a nominal altitude of about 7 km over the Martian surface. This article discusses the expected scientific return of the MAP mission in the areas of Mars geology and meteorology.
