Scientific paper

An overview is presented of the Mars Balloon program with its Snake guide-rope that will be launched aboard a Russian rocket for the Mars '96 mission. The design and development of the guide-rope, whose primary role is to enable the balloon to fly close to the surface without touching it while acting as an automatic ballast for the balloon's buoyancy variation, is described. The balloon's gondola will carry sensitive instruments to measure the Martian winds and weather, as well as a camera to return detailed images of the planet's surface.
