The observations of one member of the international team of Planetary Society members responsible for testing the Mars balloon and SNAKE are presented. The tests were held in the fall of 1990 in Indio, California, and concluded successfully. The test team was made up of scientists and technicians from CNES; observers from the Babakin Center; scientists from the Space Research Institute of the Soviet Academy of Sciences; engineers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory; students from the University of Arizona, Utah State University, UCLA, and Caltech; and Planetary Society volunteers. The chosen sites of study in this desert area were selected to simulate as neary as possible Mars-like conditions and included smooth ancient lake beds, jagged frozen lava flows and gently rolling sand dunes.
