Scientific paper

The paper discusses the type of data which will be collected by the NASA's Mars Observer spacecraft when it reaches the planet next year. These will include measurements on the Martian magnetic field, the volcanic activity, the dust storms, seasonal weather cycles, and the planet's atmosphere and gravitational field. The Mars Observer's instruments include a magnetometer, an electron reflectometer, an IR radiometer, a laser altimeter, a thermal-emission spectrometer, a gamma-ray spectrometer, a camera, and a radio system. The program is counting on the vehicle's longevity so that it can participate in a Russian mission due to arrive at Mars in September 1995.
