The Mars 96 balloon mission involves: an orbiting spacecraft, a descent module, and a balloon to which are attached a gondola with scientific experiments and a stabilizing element named guiderope. An overview of the guiderope mission and characteristics is given. The guiderope's primary mission is to stabilize the Mars balloon during the night, after its descent, in order to avoid the balloon and the gondola contacting the ground. The guiderope has a snake like shape to avoid snagging when dragged on the Martian surface. Its length is 7 m plus a 7 m cable tail. Its mass of 13.5 kg allows the guiderope to house various scientific payloads, management system and its initialization device, a transmitter, its antenna and the batteries. The duration of the mission is ten days after 10 months of transfer from Earth to Mars.
