Results of low-pressure wind tunnel testing and theoretical considerations are used to estimate the eolian transport of surface material on Mars. Saltation on Mars, equations of particle motion, computational results, and analytical determination of surface material movement are considered. A semiempirical formula is developed for estimating the total amount of surface material moving in eolian saltation, surface traction, and suspension. Numerical solutions of the equations of motion for particle trajectories on the surface of Mars are presented. The ratio of final particle speed to the particle threshold friction speed is found to be several times that of saltation on earth
