Measurements of dust on the Mars surface and in its atmosphere will be made from several upcoming missions. The best defined missions are Mars Observer, the Soviet Mars 94 mission, and the Mars Environment Survey (MESUR) mission. A discussion is presented of what measurements pertaining to airborne or surface dust will be made and what properties can be inferred from them. The payloads for the latter two missions are not yet determined. In all cases, only that information which pertains to dust is included; each mission contains additional instruments that provide no information on this topic. Following the discussion of individual instruments is a summary of the types of measurements and observations that will be made from the ensemble collection of instruments and missions, and a brief discussion of the types of measurements of dust which will not be made.
