Any new magnetic mission onboard a Mars orbiter should aim at improving the results that can be ex-pected from the MGS data. In this perspective, the simultaneous availability of continuous magnetic re-cordings at the NetLander surface stations (MagNet experiment) and onboard the orbiter is of great importance: - Surface magnetic data will enable one to characterize the transient variations of the Mars magnetic field, and therefore to achieve a better separation between time and space variations in the satellite magnetic re-cordings. It will result in an improvement in the preci-sion of static magnetic field maps, and will provide information on the spatial and temporal characteristics of the magnetic field sources in the Mars ionised envi-ronment. - Continuous surface recordings over a Martian year will enable one to put bounds on the secular variation of the Mars magnetic field. This will help in the as-sessment of the relevancy of possible differences between maps derived from satellite data recorded during different time periods. - Having simultaneous information on the magnetic field above and below the Mars ionosphere will enable one to characterize the magnetic field of ionospheric origin, and to improve the separation between mag-netic variations of internal and external origin. This will result in a more precise description of the Mars internal electric structure when induction studies are done. - Surface (MagNet/NetLander) and onboard data will provide complementary information on the Mars’ electrical structure.
