Commissioned by Title MetNet - In Situ Observational Network and Orbital Platform to Investigate the Martian Environment Abstract MetNet Mars Mission is an in situ observational network and orbital platform mission to investigate the Martian environment and it has been proposed to European Space Agency in response to Call for proposals for the first planning cycle of Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 D/SCI/DJS/SV/val/21851. The MetNet Mars Mission is to be implemented in collaboration with ESA, FMI, LA, IKI and the payload providing science teams. The scope of the MetNet Mission is to deploy 16 MetNet Landers (MNLs) on the Martian surface by using inflatable descent system structures accompanied by an atmospheric sounder and data relay onboard the MetNet Orbiter (MNO), which is based on ESA Mars Express satellite platform. The MNLs are attached on the three sides of the satellite and most of the MNLs are deployed to Mars separately a few weeks prior to the arrival to Mars. The MetNet Orbiter will perform continuous atmospheric soundings thus complementing the accurate in situ observations at the Martian ground produced by the MetNet observation network, as well as the orbiter will serve as the primary data relay between the MetNet Landers and the Earth. The MNLs are equipped with a versatile science payload focused on the atmospheric science of Mars. Detailed characterisa- tion of the Martian atmospheric circulation patterns, boundary layer phenomena, and climatological cycles, as well as interior investigations, require simultaneous in-situ meteorological, seismic and magnetic measurements from networks of stations on the Martian surface. MetNet Mars Mission will also provide a crucial support for the safety of large landing missions in general and manned Mars missions in particular. Accurate knowledge of atmospheric conditions and weather data is essential to guarantee safe landings of the forthcoming Mars mission elements.

Toimeksiantaja Nimeke MetNet - In Situ Observational Network and Orbital Platform to Investigate the Martian Environment Tiivistelmä MetNet Mars Mission on in situ -tutkimushanke joka koostuu useista Marsin pinnalle laskeutuvista havaintoasemista, jotka muodostavat havaintoverkoston, sekä Marsia kiertävästä havaintosatelliitista. MetNet Mars missiota on esitetty Euroopan avaruusjärjestölle (ESA) hyväksyttäväksi osana Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 D/SCI/DJS/SV/val/21851 –hakua. MetNet Mars missio on toteutettu yhteistyössä ESA:n, Ilmatieteen laitoksen, LA:n, IKI:n ja hyötykuorman toimittavien tiederyhmien kanssa. MetNet Mars mission tavoitteena on lähettää 16 MetNet laskeutujaa (MNL) Marsin pinnalle kayttäen hyväksi kaasutäytteistä laskeutumisjärjestelmää joka on varta vasten suunniteltu käytettäväksi Marsiin laskeutumiseen. Lisäksi Marsin kiertoradalla on ESA:n Mars Expressiin pohjautuva kiertolainen (MNO) joka tekee Marsin kaasukehän mittauksia ja toimii tietoliikennelinkkinä Maahan. MetNet –laskeutujat on kiinnitetty satelliitin kolmelle sivustalle ja suurin osa laskeutujista irroitetaan muutamaa viikkoa ennen Marsin kiertoradalle saapumista. MetNet –laskeutujat on varustettu tieteellisellä hyötykuormalla joka on erityisesti suunniteltu mittaamaan Marsin kaasukehää ja sen ominaisuuksia. Tarkat mittaukset Marsin kaasukehän sekä maaperän ominaisuuksista vaativat meteorologisia, seismologisia ja magneettisia in situ –mittauksia useilta Marsin pinnalla olevilta havaintoasemilta. MetNet havaintoverkosto tuottaa uutta ja tarkempaa tietoa Marsin kaasukehästä joka on erityisen hyödyllistä tuleville Mars missioille, koska tarkat kaasukehän mittaukset ja säätiedot ovat tärkeitä kun valmistellaan laskeutumisia Marsin pinnalle.
