| Abstract: | We suggest that use of an aerially deployed, solar-heated balloon, or Montgolfiere, during aMartian polar summer could provide an optimal platform for atmospheric measurements near thesurface. Solar Montgolfieres are empty balloons with a hole in the bottom that fill with ambient atmosphere while falling and are rapidly heated in by the sun, thus providing buoyancy. |
