Workshop on Innovative Instrumentation for the In Situ Study of Atmosphere-Surface Interactions on Mars

The speakers in the first session of the workshop addressed some of the continuing enigmas regarding the atmospheric composition, surface composition, and atmosphere-surface interactions on Mars; provided a description of a database of proposed payloads and instruments for SEI missions that is scheduled to be accessible in 1993; discussed potential uses of atmospheric imaging from landed stations on Mars; and advocated the collection and employment of high-spectral-resolution reflectance and emission data.
